One of social media's top sensation –Kanta Prasad, popularly known as 'Baba Ka Dhaba' in Malviya Nagar, South Delhi, has been admitted to Delhi Safdarjung Hospital late on Thursday night (17 June) after he tried to commit suicide.
- His condition is still critical. The information of his suicide was received on a PCR call by the Police, late on Thursday night.
81-year-old Kanta Prasad's wife told the police that he was depressed for the past few days regarding financial woes. His wife said that Kanta Prasad had to close the new restaurant he opened in December last year and return to his old roadside stall.
- Kanta Prasad was earlier quoted saying, “The average monthly sales never crossed Rs 40,000. I had to bear all the losses. In hindsight, I feel we were wrongly advised to open a new restaurant. Of the total investment of Rs 5 lakh, we managed to recover only ₹36,000 from the sale of chairs, utensils, and cooking machines, after the restaurant shut down.”
The senior citizen had gained popularity after YouTuber Gaurav Wasan pleaded for him and raised donations for the elderly couple who worked in a roadside dhaba. In fact, a huge sum was collected on his behalf. However, things got awry when Prasad lodged an FIR of cheating against the YouTuber for allegedly misappropriating money that was donated by people.
However, it is a little worrying he had mentioned that he saved the bulk of money that came in donations.
