GV Prakash Kumar Loses ₹20,000 to X Funeral Scam

Online sleuths soon identified the plea as fraudulent based on a 2022 photo.

Overview

  • On December 25, an X user named Prasanna Sadeesh, using the handle 'Mom Little King,' tagged the actor with a request for money to conduct his mother's last rites.
  • GV Prakash replied at 2:24 pm, asked for a GPay number, and at 2:28 pm transferred ₹20,000, according to posts and screenshots cited in multiple reports.
  • Users later added context noting the photo in the appeal depicted a woman who died in 2022, indicating the story had been fabricated using an older image.
  • After the transfer and subsequent exposure, the recipient reportedly stopped answering calls, as noted by coverage of the incident.
  • Fans urged GV Prakash to file a police complaint, and outlets report he has not issued a public statement as the situation remains under review.
