Syrian National Arrested in Gujarat for Alleged Gaza Aid Fund Misuse
Some people from Syria came to India with tourist visas and started asking for money at mosques.
They said it was to help people in Gaza who are in trouble.
But the police think they were really using the money for themselves.
One person has been caught, and the police found some money with him.
The police are now trying to find out where the rest of the money went and if they were doing anything else suspicious.
A Syrian national was arrested in Ahmedabad for allegedly misusing funds.
The funds were purportedly raised from mosques under the guise of helping Gaza residents.
