Paytm owner Vijay Shekhar contributes Rs 500 to armed forces; gets trolled on social media
Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma on Saturday was trolled on social media for sharing a screenshot of his contribution to the Indian Armed forces on occasion of the Armed Forces Week.
Sharma’s contribution, which was shared on his Twitter profile, showed a contribution of Rs 501.
Just sent 501 to Armed Forces Flag Day Fund. # @DefenceMinIndia pic.twitter.com/B5KD7wcdb9
