Baba Ka Dhaba owner files complaint against YouTuber Gaurav Wasan for misappropriating funds

Baba Ka Dhaba owner, Kanta Prasad, has filed a police complaint against YouTuber Gaurav Wasan who first shot the video of the elderly couple selling food in Delhi. The owner has alleged that Wasan was misappropriating funds raised to help his wife and him.

Delhi: Kanta Prasad, the owner of Baba Ka Dhaba, filed a Police complaint against Gaurav Wasan -who first shot his video & posted it- for allegedly misappropriating funds raised to help his wife & him. He alleges cheating, mischief, criminal breach of trust, a criminal conspiracy by Wasan.

In the video, Kanta Prasad has revealed how lockdown has severely impacted his earning because of the lack of customers at his eatery in Malviya Nagar. Following this, many people donated money to help them. Prasad told Indian Express, “I don’t get a lot of customers now; most people come here to take selfies… Earlier I was earning over Rs 10,000 per day, now it’s Rs 3,000-Rs 5,000.”

He further claimed that YouTuber Gaurav Wasan “intentionally and deliberately shared only his and his family/friends bank details and mobile numbers with the donors and collected huge amount of donation through different mode of payments i.e bank account/wallets without providing any information to the complainant.” The police have also confirmed that they have received a complaint about the same.

“We received the complaint yesterday at the Malviya Nagar Police Station and the matter is being probed. No FIR has been registered yet in the case,” Atul Kumar Thakur, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), said.”

However, Wasan has denied all allegations against him and claimed that he has transferred all the money into the Baba Ka Dhaba’s owner’s bank account. He told Indian Express, “When I shot the video, I didn’t know it would become this big. I didn’t want people to harass Baba (Prasad) so I shared my bank details…”
