The reel says Saurav Das may not be an Indian citizen., but current sources do not settle it.
Why we say that›
Saurav Das GK1 house and freelance work are real, yet the expose adds no records on citizenship or funding.
Two facts hold: he lives in the house and has no full-time job. The rest of the reel repeats unverified allegations to imply hidden funding and questionable legitimacy. No primary source supports the citizenship, father, rent, party or CLAT claims.
Residence and job status are real. None of the claims establish non-citizenship, Nepali father, rent amount, party attendees or CLAT failures.
No rent agreement or landlord statement for the 9-10 lakh figure
