A WhatsApp message has gone viral which says that Baba Ramdev is dead after a car accident on the Mumbai-Pune highway, and the pictures too are doing the rounds. Photos of Baba Ramdev’s lifeless body on a stretcher being taken away to the hospital too have accompanied the death message, which is obviously a hoax. Apparently, this message is just partially true. The viral images of the damaged car and Baba Ramdev being taken on a stretcher are from 2011 when the yoga guru was involved in a car accident in Bihar. However, at the moment, Baba Ramdev is hale and hearty, but unfortunately has fallen prey to a death hoax! According to DNA, the highway control officers ended the rumours stating, “No such incident has taken place on the Mumbai-Pune highway. The messages are fake.” With that, Baba Ramdev’s death messages and pictures can rest in peace.
