The video was shared and reshared massively and a huge footfall was witnessed the very next day at his food stall.  Ironically, Prasad's despair had come to light when Wasan captured the eatery owner breaking down as he talked about his struggles in a video shared on the YouTuber's social media account.


What is the complaint against YouTuber Gaurav Wasan?


Kanta Prasad has told police that Wasan shot his video and posted it online and convinced the public on social media to donate money to the eatery owner.  He has futher alleged that Wasan "intentionally and deliberately shared only his and his family/friends bank details and mobile numbers with the donors and collected huge amount of donation through different mode of payments i.e bank account/wallets without providing any information to the complainant".

The owner of the food joint also accused the YouTuber of not providing details of the financial transactions to him.

Responding to the allegations, Wasan said he has given proof of transactions to the public. " Whatever money came to my account I gave it to Baba including from my own earnings."
