It appears that Mr. Sawant earnestly initiated custodianship as evidenced by the court records, then COVID hit and significantly derailed things.
In the interim that momentum was hijacked and leveraged by 3rd party fraudsters on social media that Mr. Sawant has no control over.
Time will tell if Mr. Sawant can pick up where he left off. He could have dropped dead from COVID while hanging out in India but let's pray that is not the case.
