A man has been sentenced to nine months in house arrest for fraudulently obtaining money under the guise of raising funds for a child's surgical procedure.
The man replicated a social media appeal posted originally by the child's family seeking donations for a three month old's surgery in 2020 and reposting it after replacing the account number. He obtained over MVR 2,000 from people in this manner.
