Prajapati, a 26-year-old student pursuing his Master’s degree, shared a video on Instagram detailing how students at his university could access free groceries through a legitimate program. However, the video was misinterpreted when shared on other social media platforms, leading to false accusations and threats against Prajapati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distorted narrative surrounding Prajapati’s video quickly gained traction, with some individuals branding him as a “thief” and a “freeloader.” Rumors even circulated that he had been fired from his job at a Canadian bank, adding to his distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
