Indian Origin Man earning over Rs 80 Lakh fired after found taking ‘free’ charity food

His video how he saved money by availing himself of free food from food banks meant for students went viral

Digital Desk: Initial reports said that a data scientist of Indian origin in Ontario found himself at the centre of controversy after sharing a video detailing his money-saving techniques, ultimately leading to his dismissal from TD Bank in Canada. However, later reports suggest that the guy being an engineer and earning a high income are false.

Initial reports:

Mehul Prajapati, who held a lucrative position at TD Bank, proudly showcased in his video how he saved money by availing himself of free food from food banks meant for students. His video highlighted his haul of pasta, canned goods, and fruits obtained from these charitable sources, claiming to save "hundreds of bucks" every month.

However, Prajapati's actions soon stirred outrage, with netizens condemning his exploitation of resources meant for those in genuine need. One user lamented, "Bless your heart. One horribly smelling human at a time, you are taking them down," while another sarcastically remarked, "Wait. Now he really needs the food bank after all."

TD Bank swiftly responded to the backlash by terminating Prajapati's employment, emphasising the violation of ethical standards in accessing food meant for students despite his substantial income.

Many echoed the sentiment that Prajapati's behaviour was unacceptable, emphasising the importance of supporting genuine cases of need rather than exploiting charitable services for personal gain.
