The Instagram account “salman_khan_hyc”, linked to Hyderabad Youth Courage (HYC) and followed by over eight million users, has reportedly been restricted in India following serious legal complaints alleging large‑scale fraud and illegal crowdfunding activities.
Complaints submitted to authorities, including the
Enforcement Directorate, allege that funds were collected in the name of humanitarian causes such as Gaza/Palestine aid through UPI IDs, QR codes, and multiple bank accounts, with no transparency regarding their utilisation.
The matter is under investigation by state authorities under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
