The "IIT Baba" - Abhay Singh has been all over the news due to his extraordinary life journey. From a student at IIT Mumbai to earning a high salary of ₹ 3 lakh/month in Canada to leaving all of it to pursue spirituality, which he felt was his true calling. He became one of the most talked-about figures in the Maha Kumbh.

His father, Karan Singh, a lawyer who has been trying to reach him for the last six months, searched for him at the ashram but learned he had already left for an unknown location.

He is missing from the Juna Akhara's ashram in Maha Kumbh, and according to the Kumbh operators, he allegedly went on some secret meditation. 

Abhay outright dismissed the rumors, saying that he had been thrown out of the mela because he had become famous and might be a threat to them.

“The operators of the Madi Ashram asked me to leave at night. They think I’ve become famous and might expose something about them, so they claim I’ve gone for secret meditation. Those people are talking nonsense," he told reporters.

Abhay Singh further denied claims by Someshwar Puri, a Juna Akhara seer, of being his guru, saying there was never a guru-disciple relationship and the claim was made only after his rise to fame.
