A video widely shared on social media this week has sparked concern over possible misuse of QR codes for payments at public parking sites. The clip shows a parking attendant allegedly using a Razorpay point-of-sale device to display a personal PhonePe QR code for fee collection, instead of an official account.

In the video, a motorist can be seen questioning the attendant after noticing that the payment page reflects the name “Vinod Kumar” rather than that of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
