In some point of view he did good work.. but our so called nationalist people will forget it soon and start blaming Muslims same way they use to do now! So he should have donated it or that money to poor people atleast they will pray for him.. May Allah give him Hidaya to help more those who are needy!
good people always do good work.
he may be out of the mind, simply wasted money instead he would have fed lots of poor children.
