Jaipur: A case has been registered against IIT Baba Abhay Singh, who is popular on social media in the capital city of Jaipur. According to the available information, the Shiprapath police station received information that Baba was staying in a hotel in Riddhi-Siddhi and was causing ruckus there.
On receiving the information, the police reached the spot, where during the search, ganja was recovered from Abhay Singh's possession. However, the quantity of drugs recovered was very small, due to which it was considered a low-level offence. The police released Baba after giving strict instructions and returned to the police station.
After the police action, Abhay Singh went live on social media and threatened to commit suicide. After this incident, there has been a stir among his supporters, while the police are investigating the case.
However, he refuted all such claims and said the only truth in it is that bail was granted then and there since the case was registered.
SHO Shiprapath PS, Rajendra Godara says, "We received this information that he (Baba Abhay Singh aka IIT Baba) was staying in a hotel, and he might commit suicide. When we reached there, he said that I consume 'ganja', I still have it in my possession, and I might have said something when I was unconscious. Possession of 'ganja' is a crime under the NDPS Act. So, we arrested him... Due to the small quantity, we have interrogated him and then released him on a bail bond. His followers informed the police that he was going to commit suicide as he had posted something on social media pages... If needed, he will be called again for the interrogation."
