Rakesh Trehan, popularly known as 'Raja D King', announced that he was going to host an “iPhone Langar” and distribute about 100 devices for free among people.
"So from September 22, you will see such langars being organised as guided by ‘Jai Mata Di’. It starts September 22, between 12 PM and 2 PM, where iPhones will be given as prasad (blessed offering) to whichever lucky humans ‘Jai Mata Di’ chooses--to the residents of Chandigarh and Mohali," he told ANI.
Who will get the phones?
Trehan emphasised "there is no bias here; neither are there any favourites nor anyone special.” He added that the event will be livestreamed for all to watch.
While talking to PTI, he shared, “On September 22, the distribution will begin live here at this very place, in front of everyone. All media are invited. Everyone we invite will be welcome. Those who have come here previously and have been supportive will also be invited. iPhones will be distributed live in front of everyone to selected people from Chandigarh and Mohali. The names of the lucky recipients will be drawn in front of everyone, and they will receive the iPhones.”
“Petrol Langar”
This is not the first time Trehan grabbed attention for his giveaways. Last month, he launched ‘Petrol Langar’ in Chandigarh, under which he promised to provide free petrol to people at some selected petrol pumps. He announced fuel coupons worth ₹500 for two and three-wheeler owners and ₹1,000 for four-wheeler owners.
However, his first attempt to give free petrol turned chaotic as hundreds of people gathered at the venue. The police had to stepped in to control the crowd and the authorities temporarily shut down the petrol pump.
Rakesh Trehan said that he is a crypto trader, who used his inherited wealth to make investments.
