‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ owner, Kanta Prasad, who shot to fame overnight after a video of his humble eatery went viral in Delhi, has filed a police complaint against the Instagram-YouTube influencer who shot that video.

In the complaint, Kanta Prasad has said Gaurav Wasan used their videos to ask for donation from the social media community and misappropriated those funds. Gaurav Wasan has allegedly shared only his family and friends’ bank account numbers without the knowledge of ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ owners Kanta Prasad and his wife.

80-year-old Kanta Prasad and his wife Badami Devi shot to fame after a video of him tearfully recounting the desperation of the months since the lockdown was shared widely across social media platforms.

‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ and the couple’s struggles to survive came to light when Gaurav Wasan captured the eatery owner breaking down as he talked about his struggles in a video shared on the YouTuber’s social media account.

In his complaint to police, Kanta Prasad has said Gaurav Wasan shot his video and posted it online and convinced the public on social media to donate money to the eatery owner.
