In India, people still donate online because they believe someone is genuinely in trouble.
Jay Singh Rathore used that trust to raise around lakhs by claiming his 12 year old sister needed urgent eye treatment.
He has now been arrested by Agra Police.
The most disturbing part is not just the money. It is the damage to trust. After cases like this, people may think twice before helping a genuinely sick child or a family in desperate need.
Scamming someone is bad. Using a child's illness and fake medical records to trigger people's emotions is something that deserves serious legal action.
Online sympathy should never become a business model.
