Hyderabad: YouTuber Gaurav Wasan, who played a key role in uplifting 'Baba ka Dhaba' '(बाबा का ढाबा) owner, Kanta Prasad's standard of living and improving his economic status, while speaking to ETV Bharat over his alleged suicide case, said he was well and good when he met him the last time adding he repeatedly regretted what he did last year.

Prasad, who is currently undergoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital following an alleged suicide bid, had recently returned to his old eatery where he had garnered overnight fame last year. YouTuber Wasan, in a conversation with ETV Bharat over the phone, said, "When I met him the last time, he was fine. I told him that I had helped him last year and would help till my last breath. There is no confusion between me and him after the last meeting," said Wasan.

Further, the food blogger said that he has been going through mental stress since the matter turned controversial and recently took a sigh of relief after Baba had accepted his mistake publically. "I also have a family. I was also going through mental pressure since the controversy had erupted last year. It's just a few days back, I got some relief after he accepted his mistake. Now, this happened. Everyone is calling me. What will I say or what can I do?"

According to the Delhi Police, they received a phone call late Thursday that a man, who allegedly attempted suicide, has been brought to the hospital. His son, Azad, while speaking to the media said: "He was admitted in the ICU ward on ventilator support. His condition is critical but stable."
