Fact Check: Was Mahakumbh's IITian Baba a spy for Pak? No, that was a different IITian

India Today  

In the first two days of the Mahakumbh, the world’s largest religious congregation, almost 2 crore devotees reportedly took a dip in the Sangam, a confluence of three rivers in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj. According to Abhey Singh’s Facebook profile, he has studied Visual Communication at the Industrial Design Centre at IIT Bombay. Ashish, who works with the Academics department, told India Today Fact Check that a student named Abhey Singh pursued Visual Communication from IDC in the 2013-15 batch. According to various news reports from June 2024, a Nagpur court handed life imprisonment to ex-BrahMos Aerospace engineer Nishant Agrawal for spying for Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI. Additionally, looking at Nishant Agrawal’s photograph provided in various news reports and comparing it to that of Abhey Singh’s photos proves that both are different people who don’t resemble each other at all.
