Trehan describes himself as crypto trader
Amritsar-based businessman and social media influencer Rakesh Trehan, popularly known as Raja D King, has drawn attention with his plans to distribute expensive gifts through public ‘langar’ events.
Trehan has described himself as a crypto trader and former stock market investor. In an earlier interaction with the media, he said he planned to give away 90% of his personal wealth, along with a large portion of the wealth he inherited from his father.
What did Trehan say about his father?
Speaking about his family background, Trehan said his father’s name was Lallu and explained that his family was involved in the shawl business.
According to Trehan, his father initially worked in the same business model as the person who provided the brokerage. He explained that if products worth ₹1 crore were sold, the brokerage earned could be around ₹1 lakh.
Trehan said his father continued working in the business while following the phrase “Jai Mata Di”, and eventually, according to his account, his father became financially more successful than the person who had initially provided the brokerage opportunity.
These details are based on Trehan’s own account of his family’s business journey.
Plans to give away most of his wealth
Trehan has said that he wants to donate a substantial portion of the wealth inherited from his father as well as 90% of his own wealth.
His recent public giveaways have attracted attention because of the value and scale of the items being announced. He has previously spoken about using his wealth for public-oriented initiatives and giveaways.
Earlier ‘langar’ events in Amritsar
Trehan also claimed that he had organised ‘langars’ worth crores of rupees in Amritsar before his latest announcements.
His previous events have included giveaways involving cash, food and other items. He has also announced an ‘iPhone Langar’, which has recently drawn attention after questions were raised over the proposed gathering.
Claims yet to be independently verified
While Trehan has publicly spoken about his wealth, family business background and charitable plans, the financial figures and claims about the value of his previous ‘langars’ are based on his statements and have not been independently verified in the information available.
His latest plans have nevertheless brought renewed attention to his stated aim of distributing a large portion of his wealth through public initiatives.
