‘IIT Baba’ arrested? Abhay Singh clarifies while celebrating his b’day | India News

NEW DELHI: Abhay Singh aka “IIT Baba” was detained by the authorities in Jaipur underneath the narcotic medicine and psychotropic substances (NDPS) act for possession of marijuana.
However, Abhay stated that he was granted bail by the cops because the “possession of substance was small”
“There are three-four fake news: one is of suicide, second is of my detention. The only truth in it is that bail was granted then and there… since the case (possession of substance was small),” Abhay stated.
This comes days after Abhay alleged that he was assaulted in a information debate programme of a non-public channel in Noida.
He complained to police that some saffron-clad folks got here into the newsroom and allegedly misbehaved with him and beat him with sticks.
Abhay Singh rose to fame as “IIT Baba” on the lately concluded Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. He claimed that he graduated from IIT-Bombay in aerospace engineering.
Abhay was banned from the Juna Akhara camp, with its spokesperson describing him as an “educated lunatic” who “abused” his guru.
“He (Singh) had not become a sadhu. He came here from Lucknow just like that and was roaming around as a self-proclaimed sadhu,” Giri had stated.
