Baba Ka Dhaba owner Kanta Prasad attempts suicide hospitalized

A case of attempt to suicide by elderly Kanta Prasad, who runs 'Baba Ka Dhaba' in Malviya Nagar, Delhi, has come to light on Thursday night. Kanta Prasad has been admitted to Safdarjung Hospital for treatment, where his condition is said to be stable. Recently, Kanta Prasad apologized to that YouTuber Gaurav Vasan for his mistake. Gaurav shared Baba's video on social media during the lockdown last year and he became famous overnight.

According to Delhi Police, Kanta Prasad was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital at 11:15 pm on Thursday night. During several tests conducted by the doctors, it has been found that he had taken sleeping pills and had also consumed alcohol, due to which he fainted. Police is now probing whether Kanta Prasad attempted suicide. The matter is under investigation.

DCP (South) Atul Thakur said that Karan, son of Baba Kanta Prasad, in his statement to the police, has told that his father has taken alcohol and sleeping pills. Further inquiry is on.

In the past, when Gaurav had once again reached Vasan at the Dhaba to meet him, Baba started crying bitterly after seeing Gaurav. So much so that Baba grabbed Gaurav's feet and said that it is because of Gaurav that the world recognizes him today. During this, Baba kept on giving blessings by placing his hand on Gaurav's head.

Let us tell you that Kanta Prasad, who runs a small roadside dhaba in Malviya Nagar, opened a new restaurant in the same area in December last year after becoming famous, which was closed after some time due to losses. Things changed in such a way that Baba had to return to his old dhaba.
