Abhay Singh, known as the 'IIT Baba,' has unexpectedly left the Prayagraj MahaKumbh Ashram. Abhay Singh has reportedly moved to an undisclosed location. It is claimed that his parents visited the Juna Akhara’s 16 Madhi Ashram last night in search of him, but by then, Abhay had already left. However, his parents' visit remains unconfirmed.
Other monks at the ashram explained that Abhay Singh was giving continuous interviews, which began to affect his mental state. Amidst this, he communicated certain inappropriate things to the media, prompting his decision to leave the ashram.
The monks stated that Abhay's mental balance deteriorated suddenly; he started indulging in intoxicants and gave interviews while under influence. They even took him to Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Avdheshanand Giri of the Juna Akhara.
Those who took Abhay to the Acharya noted his mental state and proposed that he should leave the ashram, leading to Abhay's departure late that night.
