Abhay Singh, known as "IIT Baba," an IIT Bombay graduate and aerospace engineer turned saint, has been expelled from the Juna Akhara for violating its disciplinary code. The Akhara accused Singh of disrespecting his guru, Mahant Someshwar Puri, and using offensive language. Singh, a viral figure at Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, gained attention for his transition from a high-paying career to spirituality. Juna Akhara’s chief patron, Mahant Hari Giri, stated Singh’s actions violated the sacred guru-shishya tradition. Singh remains banned from the Akhara camp until he demonstrates remorse and discipline. His family hopes for reconciliation amid limited communication.
