IIT Baba 'Death' Rumor: Police Debunk Social Media Frenzy
16 Oct
Summary
- Social media posts falsely claimed IIT Baba died in suspicious circumstances.
- Hisar Police confirmed the death reports are completely false and baseless.
- A local man's death was wrongly attributed to the popular 'IIT Baba'.
Recent social media posts falsely reported the death of Abhay Singh, popularly known as 'IIT Baba,' claiming he was found dead in suspicious circumstances. These unverified claims circulated widely, causing concern among those who followed his story.
Abhay Singh gained national attention during last year's Mahakumbh for his IIT Bombay background. Despite a successful career, he turned to spirituality, reportedly after struggling with depression. His recent marriage also garnered attention.
Hisar Police in Haryana officially confirmed on Wednesday that the rumors of IIT Baba's death are entirely false. Police officer Amarinder Singh clarified that the viral posts originated from a misreported local incident.
The police explained that the body of Rahul Jain, a resident of Hisar, was found in the PLA area. This unrelated news was twisted online and falsely presented as the discovery of IIT Baba's body. Authorities urged the public to disregard and stop forwarding such misleading information.
