Jay Singh Rathore Raises Rs 1.5 Lakh in Alleged Fake Eye Surgery Fundraiser on X
Jay Singh Rathore, an X user, raised over Rs 1.5 lakh online claiming it was for his 12-year-old sister's eye surgery. The fundraiser drew sympathy until Shroff Eye Centre flagged the medical documents as fake. Rathore faced intense questioning in multiple X Spaces, where his explanations varied, including claims the money was for his ill father or done "for fun." The hospital warned the public about the forged documents, and Rathore promised refunds amid growing donor demands.
