Most of us Indians have a defective gene
somewhere in our body. We love sob stories.
Be it a Reality show like Indian Idol or Social
Media News - we always love it when Poor people (Destitute or Near Destitute)
and their troubles are highlighted. The Sight of an Old Man or an Old Woman or
the Poor mother of a Contestant on Indian Idol crying - is TRP Fodder.
We love it when Poor, Oppressed, Minorities claim
to achieve something - like Drone Pratap - a Science graduate who claimed to
build 600+ drones (Turned out to be a 1000% lie)
A Youtuber called Gaurav Wasan highlighted the
plight of a Dhaba in Delhi called Baba Ka Dhaba - run for many
years by an Old Couple who were facing utter ruin due to Coronavirus or Covid
19.
The Sight of the Old Couple crying - became
National News and obviously our Masses thronged towards the Couple - and
Celebrities from Ajay Jadeja to Aparashakti Khurana to Anushka Sharma began to
appeal to Twitterati for their help.
Subsequently Baba Ka Dhaba started back to business
again
The Youtuber appealed for money for Baba Ka Dhaba.
The Account number he gave was in the name of Kanta Prasad - the Owner of Baba
Ka Dhaba although he had also given his own Paytm number and Google pay Number
linked to his Bank account as an additional avenue of cash flow.
The Above information is Fact
Beyond this everything is pure speculation
Contributions were made into the accounts given by
Gaurav Wasan the Youtuber.
Subsequently - Gaurav Wasan was alleged to have made
two payments of Rs. 45,000/- and Rs. 15,000/- to the Old Couple.
Subsequently Wasan allegedly paid then a further
Rs. 1,73,000/- and said it was the Final Payment from the Donations and
Contributions (Plus or minus some rupees)
In Short - The Owner of BKD claimed to have
received Rs. 2,33,000/- from the Donations and Contributions for his Dhabas
closure from March 25 2020 to September 3 2020 when the Dhaba opened for
business completely - that is for 5 months approximately.
On the other hand - Gaurav Wasan claims to have
received Rs. 4,44,000/- in Donations and Contributions out of which he has paid
Rs. 3,78,000/- to the Old Couple. He claimed that the balance Rs. 66,000/- was
his own money.
He even produced the Statement of Account for that
one account
Wasan also said that Kanta Prasads account had been
sealed because Rs. 20 Lakh had already been deposited in it.
Here are certain discrepancies in the Statements of
the BKD Owners
·
The Owners claimed that they did not have a working
bank account in the month of March 25 when COVID 19 first emerged in India
which was why they had okayed Wasan providing his account information. However
since they opened an account during August or September 2020 and encashed the
Cheque given by Wasan. The Old Couple claimed to have received only Rs.
2,33,000/- from Wasan. Wasan however has claimed to have paid them Rs.
3,78,000/-
·
However in Vasans statement Rs. 3,78,000/- has been
shown in Withdrawals but the Narration for Rs. 1,45,000/- says “DIGITAL
TRANSACTION PAYTM” - It does not mention the name of KANTA PRASAD OR BKD. So it
is possible that Rs. 1,45,000/- could have been given to someone else by PAYTM
by Wasan
·
Sealing of Kanta Prasads account by the Bank is
very odd. Why should the Bank seal an account? Unless there is a reason to.
Wasan says that Rs. 20 Lakhs has been deposited into this account but it
does not make sense to freeze the account by the bank. Even if 20
Crores is deposited - Bank has no business to freeze the account unless the 20
Crores was paid by Suitcases of Cash. The only explanation i can think of is
that the account was inactive or dormant and hence maybe the Bank officials
used the words Froze.
What is my Theory
There are Two Theories:-
The First Theory is that
some mischief monger managed to rile up the Old man Kanta Prasad (Mostly his
relative or a fellow vendor of food) that he is being conned and Gaurav Wasan
is conning him. It is a regular occurence. People with Lesser Education and
nearer to the Poverty line have a deep suspicion of People
with higher Education and who are middle class and always tend to believe their
fellows rather than the middle class person - no matter how much this middle
class person may have helped the other.
Maid servants, Factory workers - tend to believe
their fellow mates of the same social strata and suspect their bosses of 10 -
15 years .
It is entirely possible that Gaurav Wasan found
that Rs. 20 Lakhs has been deposited into Babas account and told the bank to
stop incoming credits as Enough money has been credited. Of
course this is utterly impossible unless Gaurav Wasan became RBI Governor in a
secret Nomination or holds a GPA from Kanta Prasad.
Subsequently some ill informed people told the Near
Illiterate Kanta Prasad that “The Middle Class Boy has conned you” and Kanta
Prasad believing him ran to the Police station to give a complaint.
In this Theory - Both Wasan and Kanta Prasad are
victims of misunderstanding
The Second Theory is crueler - My second theory is that - Kanta Prasad and Wasan were both in Cahoots with
each other and Wasan wanted a share of the Rs. 20 Lakh in Kanta Prasads Account
and Kanta Prasad refused - hence Wasan pretended to be a do gooder and got the
account frozen through some way or another.
A Furious Kanta Prasad subsequently reported to the
Cops in Malviya Nagar.
In short - A Falling out of Thieves
In this Theory - Both Kanta Prasad and Wasan are
both Guilty and had a falling out.
Either way - The Indian Public Sympathized with
Kanta Prasad, owner of BKD at his plight but today after receiving Rs.
2,33,000/- minimum per his own claims for 5 months of closure - and after his
business boomed post Wasans post - Kanta Prasad is an Ungrateful and
Greedy Man.
That is virtually guaranteed.
The man was allegedy starving and despite a payout
of almost Rs. 2.5 Lakhs and huge queues outside his shop which means revenue is
booming - he is laying claim to more and more of his donation money and ready
to go to the police against Wasan without even offering a chance for Wasan to
justify himself when it was Wasan who probably saved his life (No matter what
his intent should have been)
So that is where things stand today
And of course the Million Dollar Question
Is the Indian Public Bipolar?
Vijay Mallya, Anil Ambani, Drone Pratap, Devyani Khobrogade, Gaurav Wasan -
all hailed as heroes first and then castigated as first rate villians……
