There is no proper evidence to confirm the achievements of drone Prathap being shared on social media. The claim made that he is a scientist is false.Drone Prathap has claimed to have made 600 drones using e-waste, but not a single photo or video exists, and all photographs show him with commercially produced drones from several companies. According to the reports, Prathap has won the Albert Einstein Innovation Gold Medal in the International Drone Expo 2018 held at Hanover in Germany and secured first place in CeBIT Drone Expo-2018 at Hanover, Germany.

He has also bagged the gold medal in the International Robotic Exhibition held in Tokyo, Japan, in December 2017. The winners' list of the Albert Einstein World Award of Science does not include the name of the drone Prathap. There is no picture or video, or official reports on drones built by him. There are some photos of him standing next to some drones, but they were made by reputed drone companies, not by him.

In one such picture posted on social media, Pratap has seen standing next to a drone that belongs to ACSL (Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory Ltd) company. A Redditor enquired through the mail to the ACSL to determine whether Prathap works for the company or developed drones for them. In a reply, the company categorically stated that he has no relationship with the company or drone.
