As public scepticism mounted over his claims, the man joined several X Spaces sessions to address the allegations. Breaking down in tears under questioning, he admitted to making a mistake. He claimed that it was his father who was sick and he used his sister’s name to maximise his reach online. Though people refused to believe his explanation, he maintained that his family was facing financial distress and he raised the money to help his father .
What began as a heartwarming story of internet generosity quickly turned into a major online controversy after an X user named “Jay Singh Rathore”, who raised ₹ 1.5 lakh on X claiming it was for his sister’s eye surgery, was accused of scamming donors.
Initially, people were happy with the development, but some soon started pointing out discrepancies in the reports and prescriptions he shared. In a now-deleted thread, he shared that his sister was getting treated at Shroff Eye Centre. Later, he claimed to have raised over ₹ 1.5 lakh from donations.
A heartbreaking post shared on the X profile of “Jay Singh Rathore” urged people to help him raise money for his sister’s surgery.
