The chairman of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Maharashtra's Beed district has come on the radar of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for allegedly cheating donors after raising funds on the pretext of helping people in Palestine and Gaza, police said on Sunday.

The ATS, which monitors social media platforms to detect suspicious activity and gather intelligence, recently discovered that the head of the NGO was collecting donations in his personal bank account using a Unified Payments Interface (UPI) Quick Response (QR) code linked to it, an officer said.
