"To everyone who took up the offer for sponsored therapy, thank you for letting me help you and I hope you're feeling better," Dubey wrote on ‘Bengaluru subreddit’, the forum on Reddit dedicated to the city. "To anyone else reading this, if you're going through mental health issues but can't afford therapy, please reach out and I'll help you."

Dubey had also tried to open a "Free PG" to offer free accommodation to those in need such as victims of abuse but failed due to financial constraints, but he did manage to set up a small apartment to provide temporary shelter to such people "or anyone who just needs a roof over their heads in Bengaluru until things get better".

“I’ve always been a ‘Broseph’ to all my friends. If anyone needs any help in my extended circle, they come to me,” the Mahindra employee told The Print. He recently also helped his friend when he was assaulted by a policeman while trying to assist a molestation victim file an FIR. The accused sub-inspector later apologised.

Update: The concerned police officials have apologised to the victim and he's satisfied with their apology.

Thank you @yelahankantwnps and @BlrCityPolice for this. We hope this doesn't happen again to anyone. https://t.co/XV4aT6UZmE

Dushyant Dubey also made news recently when a video of him unclogging the drains in the Indiranagar went viral. Roads in the area were flooded after a spell of heavy rainfall, once the drains were unclogged, the water drained away quickly, making the area free of water logging.

Cleared the waterlogged roads at Indiranagar today, here's a video by a friend chronicling the events.
