In a video purported to be his last, V Harish, the 27-year-old finance influencer who died by suicide after alleged cyberbullying, claimed that he was being harassed and money was being demanded of him, leading to severe stress for him and his family.
“It is five years of my hard work. If you find any mistakes in me, you can question me, and I am ready to respond. He claimed that he had connections with MLAs and even chief minister in Puducherry, knowing that I belong to Puducherry. He also demanded money and asked me, ‘Where will you go without paying me?'” Harish alleged in the video. He claimed Harish was not a SEBI Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) and had got his AMFI Registration Number (ARN) from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) only recently.
But my five years of hard work have been stolen,” Harish said in the video. “He said that my family would be targeted. In a post on X on Tuesday evening, Samuel said he was shocked by Harish’s death, but emphasised that he had only pointed out that the influencer had “misrepresented” facts.
