Blogger "Not A Thief": Baba Ka Dhaba Owner Apologises In New Viral Video

With folded hands in a video, Baba Ka Dhaba's Kanta Prasad says, "Gaurav Wasan was not a thief. We never called him a thief."

"Baba ka Dhaba" - the tiny roadside kiosk run by a poor, elderly couple in Delhi - had become the story of the year during the lockdown a few months ago. Their struggle touched hearts, donations poured in, and their eatery was flooded with customers. All this after a video shared by a food blogger Gaurav Wasan. But a month later, the owner of the dhaba - Kanta Prasad - filed a police case against the blogger for swindling the donations. The blogger denied the charges and defended himself with his bank statements. This video completely broke my heart. Dilli waalon please please go eat at बाबा का ढाबा in Malviya Nagar if you get a chance 😢💔 #SupportLocalpic.twitter.com/5B6yEh3k2H Now, the 80-year-old "Baba", in a new video shared by another food blogger on Saturday, is seen taking his words back. With folded hands, Mr Prasad says, "Gaurav Wasan was not a thief. We never called him a thief." The "universe knows Gaurav Wasan was not a thief", Mr Prasad says in Hindi, and asks for forgiveness from people for the allegations that had given a dark twist to this rags-to-riches story.
