Dilip Kumar, a veteran Bollywood actor, died on 7 July. He was 98 years old. His last rites were performed with state honors in Mumbai. But after his death, several posts went viral on social media claiming that he had given property worth Rs 98 crore to the Waqf Board before he died.
There were many such posts on Twitter and Facebook written as "Kafir hypocrites who shed tears for Muhammad Yusuf aka Dilip Kumar... Open your eyes and see! ... He has given his property to the Waqf Board but has not given even a penny to the temples.
One Twitter user wrote, "Understand the chronology of the criminals: Dilip Kumar's real name Yusuf Khan earned a lot of money in Bollywood by keeping the Hindu name, but at the time of death, he did not give his property of 98 crores to any NGO running an old age ashram or orphanage but to his religious Muslim Waqf Board!
