Namaste!

You may have fallen for a fraudulent claim in the present instance. This case may be fit for procurement of a refund or even a severe fiscal penalty.

This is one of several cases where fly by night operators hoodwink unsuspecting consumers. You may seek addressal of your grievance by suing the dietitian and the owners/administrators of the website.

I'd be happy to assist you. Do get in touch.

Your best bet would be to collate data on her and write a complaint to the Medical Council of India and ask for revocation of her license. You could also approach a district consumer forum but that is going to take a lot of time, money and effort for you.

You can right a complaint to Advertising Standard Council of India. In addition you can move appropriate authority under Drugs and Magical remedies(objectionable advertisement) Act who must be a person of Drugs Control Department which provides for punishment of imprisonment also. As regards cancellation of license if she is a registered medical practitioner then you got to move Indian Medical Association, Medical Council or whichever body governs her profession. As regards claiming of amount then you got to move court by way of a civil suit for damages.
