Scandalous Global Child Prodigy Awards exposed

0

An Indian national named Prashant Kumar Pandey has been running a scandalous award selling venture under the garb of so-called ‘Global Child Prodigy Awards’ (GCPA). So far, the person behind this dubious venture has successfully managed to get famous individuals such as Oscar-winning music director A.R. Rehman, Novel laureate Dr. Kailash Satyarthi, Indian civil bureaucrat Dr. Kiran Bedi as well as members of the UAE royal family at the award-giving ceremony and later has been selling their names through the website of GCPA with the ulterior motive of influencing the probably award-seekers.

In the website of GCPA, it is written:

GCP Awards is the world’s first and only child prodigy initiative that recognizes Top 100 Child Prodigies around the globe each year from various verticals. A platform for all kids up to age 15 to showcase their talent and uniqueness to the global audience and get recognized as Top 100 child prodigies, and they also get featured in Global Child Prodigy Annual Book every year. GCP Awards aims to acknowledge prodigies from various categories such as arts, music, dance, writing, modeling, acting, science, and sports, etc. provide them global exposure to excel in their respective domains.  

Fake address

According to the website of GCPA, it claims to have offices in Dubai, UAE, and Karnataka, India. The Dubai address of GCPA is #2111, Churchill Executive Tower, Business Bay, P.O. Box: 115417, Dubai, UAE; while its Indian office is at 1st Floor, #7 A VS Compound, Koramangala, 6 Bengaluru, Karnataka, India 560034.

But in reality, there is no such office of GCPA in Dubai or India. When an undercover investigative reporter of Blitz called +91-9710819518 and spoke to Prashant Kumar Pandey, he said, their Dubai and Karnataka offices were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Prasant, the promoter of scammer

Prashant Kumar Pandey and his scandalous Global Child Prodigy Awards have been promoting a controversial “child astrologer” in India named Abhigya Anand.

Prashant Kumar Pandey has clearly mentioned in his online profile that GCPA is his business venture. Meaning, he has been making money through this project by selling the goodwill of various prominent individuals such as Dr. Kailash Satyarthi, A.R. Rehman, Dr. Kiran Bedi, and several popular and respected individuals in India as well as members of the UAE royal family. It is not clear as to how such esteemed individuals have been fooled by Prashant.

Who is Abhigya Anand?

An Indian kid named Abhigya Anand and his astrology has drawn the attention of media in his country and abroad by allegedly predicting a lot about COVID-19 and the subsequent pandemic – Mutant coronavirus. Although people are increasingly showing interest in Abhigya and his so-called prophecy, most of the people possibly are yet to know – his parents have been making efforts in somehow promoting Abhigya as a super-kid – and even as a spiritually-powered child.

Deception in Abhigya Anand’s videos

But in reality, the father of Abhigya Anand – an IT specialist is the man who has uploaded astrology contents of Abhigya only during the middle of 2020 dating it back into November 2019 on YouTube when cases of coronavirus were already showing up in China. So, what people are thinking of the “prophecy” of Abhigya’s astrology or his prediction from the blue was actually nothing of anything special. His father had used the child in making video content and then it was uploaded on YouTube in 2020 giving the date to November 2019.

According to Abhigya’s YouTube astrology predictions, though, another outbreak will hit around 20 December 2020 and it will be more extreme, with other disasters, lasting through until March 2021. But on his Facebook page, he has made another prediction stating coronavirus will be lasting until 2025 – clearly proving, this kid has really nothing special.

Here are several news links about the dubious activities of Abhigya Anand:

Prashant Kumar Pandey is trading in awards

When an undercover investigative journalist of a fellow Indian newspaper called Prashant, he agreed to sell the next award in exchange for cash. The entire conversation between the undercover journalist and Prashant Kumar Pandey is preserved with Blitz, which we shall publish in the future.

Prashant’s Dubai connection

Although there is no office of Global Child Prodigy Awards in the United Arab Emirates, Prashant Kumar has shown an office address at #2111, Churchill Executive Tower, Business Bay, P.O. Box: 115417, Dubai, UAE. According to our sources in Dubai, Prashant Kumar Pandey actually is involved in money laundering as well as cybercrime. Through him, a huge amount of money is being regularly sent from India to UAE through illegal channels.

Moreover, Prashant is receiving US$8 from each of the applicants of his Global Child Prodigy Awards while he also is receiving a huge amount of money from most of the candidates, who are finally selected for the awards. Only from the so-called award registration fees, Prashant is making millions of dollars every year.

Indian authorities should immediately investigate the case of Prashant Kumar Pandey.
