In a sad development, Kanta Prasad, 80, owner of the popular "Baba Ka Dhaba" eatery in Delhi, allegedly tried to kill himself and is admitted to the Safdarjung Hospital. He was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state around 11:30 pm on Thursday.

Police said they received an emergency call from the hospital last night. "Police rushed to the spot and found that he is Kanta Prasad. He is currently undergoing treatment. His wife informed the police that he had been depressed for the last few days," an official said.
Prasad's son, Karan said his father had taken alcohol and sleeping pills. Badami Devi, Prasad's wife said, "I don't know what he ate. He fell unconscious, I was sitting at the dhaba. I brought him here. Doctor hasn't told us anything...don't know what was going on in his mind."
For the unversed, Prasad and his roadside stall first shot to fame last year when an emotional video of him talking about his financial issues was widely shared on social media. That video was shot and posted by YouTuber #GauravWasan.
Soon, donations poured in for the 80-year-old and people flooded his eatery. Prasad then decided to invest his growing wealth into a restaurant in the same area. Though the venture picked up well, losses began piling up. He has been facing financial woes ever since.
Separately, Prasad had also filed a police case against Wasan for allegedly swindling the donations meant for him. Wasan had denied the allegations. Just days ago, Prasad apologized to Wasan in a fresh video, saying he made a mistake by accusing him. #BABAKADHABA
