Baba Ka Dhaba Owner Takes U-Turn, Apologizes To YouTuber For Accusing Him Of Theft, See Video
We have always maintained that the Internet is a great place to be as here a person can increase his knowledge, get entertained, make new friends, share whatever he wants with the world and so on but it is also true that this is also a great tool for helping the needy people. What makes the Internet and the social media networks stand apart from other medium is their immense reach among people. The “Baba ka Dhaba” episode is one of the best cases which has displayed power of the Internet but unfortunately, it led to controversies and set up a bad precedent.
Let us refresh your memories a little – in 2020, the Indian government had to impose lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic and it affected all and sundry in an adverse manner, especially the weaker section of the society. After the unlock process started, a YouTuber Gaurav Wasan shot a video of an elderly couple who ran a road side small eatery known as “Baba ka Dhaba” in Malviya Nagar, Delhi, and were very upset because of the low business. The video soon went viral and while some people tried to help them by going at the dhaba and eating over there, there were also some people who helped the couple financially as they used to live in different cities.
Baba ka Dhaba’s owner Kanta Prasad became very famous shortly and people were also happy seeing his situation changing for better but soon he was in the center of a controversy as he filed a complaint against Gaurav Wasan and alleged that Wasan was involved in misappropriation of funds which were sent by people for helping him and his wife. Kanta Prasad accused Gaurav Wasan of mischief, cheating, criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust.

However now after 7-8 months, the Baba ka Dhaba owner has put an end to the controversy by apologizing to Gaurav Wasan in a video which is going on viral on social media. In the video, Kanta Prasad is heard saying that Gaurav Wasan was not a thief and he never called him thief as well.
According to Kanta Prasad, the only mistake which he made was that he said he called Gaurav Wasan but in reality, Wasan came on his own and for that, he apologized to everyone.
