印度财经博主自杀身亡 YouTuber因骚扰诽谤被捕

27岁的印度财经博主V Harish在其Instagram账户被禁用数周后于周二在泰米尔纳德邦金奈附近的家中自杀身亡。1Harish在去世前录制视频称"五年的辛苦工作被盗走了"。1

Harish拥有超过130万Instagram粉丝。1Meta在9月收到投诉后删除了他的账户，原因是他未向印度证券交易委员会（Sebi）注册。1随后，YouTuber Jason Samuel于10月18日发布视频质疑Harish缺乏Sebi或Amfi注册证书。1

Harish的父亲在警方投诉中指控Samuel通过发布贬损视频和网络骚扰导致其子自杀。Samuel于周四被逮捕，涉嫌敲诈和发布诽谤视频。1

这一事件引发了关于谁有资格向投资者提供财务建议的讨论。1数据显示，印度国家证券交易所注册投资者数量从2019年的3000万增至今年的1.3亿以上。1

V Harish, a 27-year-old finance content creator with over 1.3 million Instagram followers, was found dead at his home near Chennai in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday, days after his account was removed from Meta's platform 1. His father filed a police complaint accusing YouTuber Jason Samuel of driving his son to suicide through defamatory videos and online harassment 1. Samuel was arrested on Thursday and faces charges of extortion and publishing defamatory content 1.

The sequence of events began when Meta disabled Harish's Instagram account in September following complaints that he lacked registration with India's Securities and Exchange Board (Sebi) 1. On October 18, Samuel posted a video questioning Harish's lack of Sebi or Amfi (Association of Mutual Funds in India) credentials 1. Before his death, Harish recorded a video stating that "five years of hard work has been stolen" 1. The incident has sparked broader debate over who is qualified to provide financial advice to investors, occurring against a backdrop of rapid growth in India's retail investor base—which has surged from 30 million registered users in 2019 to over 130 million this year 1.
