How Public Gets Fooled: Stay Alert to Begging Scams
Across India, authorities registered over 1,200 child exploitation cases via begging syndicates in 2023, per National Crime Records Bureau data. Many victims wear fake wounds or feign distress to trigger sympathy. Scammers train children to mimic burns, fractures, or cruelty stories to collect cash from kind strangers.
Always verify visible injuries, look for medical bandages, and ask simple questions before donating money. Public awareness reduces the success of these scams and protects genuine sufferers in need.
