A viral social media claim that IIT Baba, also known as Abhay Singh Grewal, was found dead in Haryana’s Hisar has been dismissed as false by the police, as per reports. Officials clarified that the man whose body was found in the city was Rahul Jain, a Hisar resident, and not the spiritual figure who rose to prominence during the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.
The rumour spread through social media posts claiming that IIT Baba’s body had been discovered in a room under suspicious circumstances. However, Hisar Police’s clarification established that the reports had wrongly linked a separate death to Abhay Singh. Police urged people not to circulate unverified claims.
