According to the Police Commissionerate Agra's statement, the complaint alleged that Ajayveer Singh, also known as Jay Singh Rathore, prepared fake documents to support claims about his 12-year-old sister's medical condition.

₹1.5 Lakh Crowdfunding Appeal Came Under Scrutiny

The case follows a viral fundraising appeal on X in which Jay Singh Rathore had claimed that his younger sister was suffering from serious eye-related problems and needed treatment. Media reports published earlier this week said the appeal received more than ₹1.5 lakh from online donors. The fundraiser initially attracted widespread attention after the account sought small contributions from people to help meet the alleged medical expenses. The fundraising campaign later came under scrutiny after questions were raised about the authenticity of the medical records shared online.

Hospital Had Flagged Allegedly Fake Medical Documents

The controversy intensified after Shroff Eye Centre issued a warning concerning medical documents allegedly carrying its letterhead. Reports said the hospital stated that a patient record, prescription and treatment estimate being circulated in its name were fake and urged people to exercise caution. The hospital's warning became a key development in the dispute surrounding the online fundraiser. The hospital did not name Rathore in the warning, according to reports, while the allegations against him have subsequently become the subject of the police case.

Police Probe Focuses On Alleged Fraudulent Fundraising

The Agra Police statement specifically alleges that the accused used fabricated documents and misleading medical claims to obtain money from the public. Police have not, in the statement, disclosed the exact amount allegedly obtained, the number of donors involved or the specific legal sections under which the FIR was registered. The investigation and further legal proceedings are continuing. The allegations will be subject to the due process of law.

Social Media Fundraising Under Scrutiny

The case has also highlighted concerns surrounding medical fundraising campaigns circulated through social media, where appeals can reach large audiences within a short period. In this case, the initial appeal was widely shared before questions were raised over the authenticity of the supporting documents. Earlier reports also said Rathore subsequently posted apologies and indicated that donors would be refunded, although such claims are separate from the police investigation and should not be treated as independently verified.
