A false social media post claims that IIT Baba Abhay Singh, the viral figure from the Maha Kumbh Mela, has died. Haryana Police has categorically denied this, stating that the body discovered in a bedroom in Hisar belonged to Rahul Jain, not Abhay Singh. The viral posts falsely linked the incident to the IIT Baba. Police spokesperson Amarendra Singh clarified that the incident was linked to Abhay Singh only through misleading posts circulating on social media.
The police urged people not to believe or share unverified information regarding the claim of his death. IIT Baba Abhay Singh, originally from Haryana’s Jhajjar district, gained prominence during the Maha Kumbh Mela. He married Pratika, an engineer from Karnataka, in February. Their marriage was reportedly celebrated at the Aghanjhar Mahadev Temple in Himachal Pradesh on February 15, before being registered in court on February 19.
Pratika, in an interview, revealed that she had met Singh about a year prior to their marriage and appreciated his character. She also discussed visiting her in-laws in Jhajjar and the couple’s aspirations to establish a Sanatan University.
