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

A 3rd wave of covid infections in India is unavoidable and may hit the country within 8 weeks, AIIMS chief Dr. Randeep Guleria said. The vitality of the new wave however, would depend upon vaccination coverage and level of adherence to COVID-19 protocols.
newsbytesapp.com/news/india/aii… Image
Dr. Guleria added, "As we have started unlocking, there is again a lack of COVID-appropriate behavior. We don't seem to have learned from what happened between the 1st and the 2nd wave." He further said, "It all depends on how we go ahead in terms of COVID-appropriate behavior." Image
So will this wave affect children more? A recent seroprevalence study was done by #WHO and AIIMS on 10,000 samples. Citing that, the Indian govt asserted that the level of antibodies was similar in both adults and children. So, the new wave might affect every age group equally. Image

The anti-vaccine gang is at it again! There sure have been numerous myths and conspiracy theories surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines, but the title for the most bizarre probably goes to a relatively new one - the jab could turn you magnetic. #antivaxxers
newsbytesapp.com/news/india/wil…
Recently, Arvind Sonar from Nashik, shot to online 'fame' as he claimed developing magnetic abilities soon after taking his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The video showed another man smoothly sticking rupee coins, steel spoons, and plates to Sonar's chest and arms.
The Indian government's Press Information Bureau has denied the claims. "Several posts/videos claiming that #COVID19 #vaccines can make people magnetic. COVID-19 vaccines do NOT make people magnetic and are completely SAFE (sic)," the PIB wrote on Twitter, with a video message.

A total disregard for COVID protocols will hasten the 3rd wave of the pandemic, the Delhi High Court warned today noting violations in Delhi following easing of curbs. The court has asked the Centre and the Delhi govt to submit status reports over this.
newsbytesapp.com/news/india/del…
The HC has took suo motu cognizance of the issue after a doctor from Delhi's AIIMS shared images of overcrowded markets. The court asked govt to take strict measures against violators and sensitize sellers. It also directed to deploy police in markets to enforce social distancing
"The memory of the second wave has not left us, yet people behave in this manner. This is very unfortunate," a bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Asha Menon commented. "There is a need for strict measures to prevent further spread of COVID-19 infection." #covidupdates
