Kaante Wale Baba Humiliated at Kumbh Mela: Viral Video Shows Altercation with Woman
A shocking video from the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral, showing a woman engaging in a heated and disrespectful argument with Ramesh Kumar Manjhi, widely known as "Kaante Wale Baba." The Baba, a prominent figure at the Kumbh Mela known for sitting on thorn beds as a form of penance and prayer, was left helpless during the confrontation.
The woman was seen angrily accusing the Baba of being a fraud. She mockingly claimed she could turn the coins in his possession into currency notes within two minutes. Despite her provocative remarks, the Baba refused to give her any coins. Videos of the incident show the crowd supporting the woman, leaving the Baba visibly distressed.
Ramesh Kumar Manjhi, who belongs to the Scheduled Tribe community, has been a notable attraction at every Kumbh Mela for years. Known for enduring physical and mental challenges in devotion to God, the Baba draws the attention of pilgrims and visitors. He does not solicit money but accepts offerings from devotees without refusal.
The video has drawn sharp reactions from netizens, many of whom have criticized the woman's behavior and demanded strict action against her. One social media user commented, "She will face the consequences of her actions. Justice must be served." The video has amassed over a million views and continues to spark outrage, with calls for the authorities to intervene.
