In November, Kanta Prasad had filed a complaint against YouTuber Gaurav Wasan at the Malviya Nagar Police Station and accused him of not sharing financial details of donations he received. In his complaint, Kanta Prasad claimed that Gaurav, who shot the video and asked for donations, had misappropriated the money.
