Baba ka dhaba owner attempts suicide admitted in Safdarjung Hospital

The owner of the famous “Baba Ka Dhaba” in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area, Kanta Prasad, attempted suicide on Thursday night and was thereafter admitted to Safdarjung Hospital, the police said. According to the reports, police received a PCR call late on Thursday that a man, who attempted suicide, has arrived at the hospital. Police rushed to the spot and found that he is Kanta Prasad.

The reports further suggested, Kanta Parasad took an overdose of sleeping pills as he was stressed about his financial situation. Earlier this month, Kanta Prasad, who became famous overnight after his video went viral on social media, closed his new restaurant after

suffering huge losses. After six months of fame, the old couple was back to the roadside eatery in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar, desperately waiting for customers.

Last year, Prasad had lodged an FIR of cheating against YouTuber Gaurav Wasan for allegedly misappropriating money that was raised to help him and his wife. Wasan had shot the widely shared video of Prasad and his wife on October 7 last year, which showed the couple talking about lack of customers at the eatery in Malviya Nagar, following which several people donated money.

A few days ago, in an Instagram video that had gone viral, Prasad with folded hands had said that Gaurav Wasan was not a thief and that he never claimed that he was one. Prasad said that he was wrong to say malicious things about him
