New Delhi: Kanta Prasad, the owner of 'Baba Ka Dhaba'(बाबा का ढाबा) eatery in Delhi, who attempted suicide and was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital has been discharged from the hospital Friday night.
Prasad, who became a social media sensation last year, had opened a new restaurant in Malviya Nagar after he got huge donations from across the country. However, the continuous lockdown forced him to shut the new restaurant that he had opened in December 2020, owing to losses. He said that his old eatery is more profitable since the investment and maintenance cost is less and he makes good profits.

In a conversation with ETV Bharat earlier, he had said, "I have to get someone to assist me since I can't say no to my customers. At this age, I can't do everything alone. Earlier, I used to struggle to sell 750 grams of rice but now I sell 5 kgs rice in half a day."
Prasad had shot to the limelight after YouTuber Gaurav had shot the widely shared video of Prasad and his wife on October 7 last year, which showed the couple talking about lack of customers at the eatery in Malviya Nagar. Following which several people donated money and the couple had put up a bigger unit.
Later things went sour and Prasad had lodged an FIR of cheating against Wasan for allegedly misappropriating money that was raised to help him and his wife. Just days back, Prasad was again seen on a viral video retracting his allegation against Wasan.
