The 10-year-old self-styled 'Bal Sant' Abhinav Arora was seen walking with bodyguards after his family claimed that he received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Arora gained popularity after videos of him went viral on social media where he claimed that he reached a spiritual awakening at the age of three. Since then, he has found some ardent followers who believe that the minor is a spiritual guru.
One of his videos recently went viral on social media where he could be seen surrounded by police officers while he walks with his folded hands with a man dressed in all black following him.
He was seen attending a Govardhan pooja event and is also seen singing.
As he leaves the venue, he can be again seen with four police officers and the man in black who even opens the door to his car to help him get inside.
Last week, the 10-year-old's mother, Jyoti Arora claimed that her son received a death threat from the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
"...We received a call message from Lawrence Bishnoi group today where we were being threatened that Abhinav would be killed," the mother told ANI.
"Efforts are being made to do our social escalation through social media. Abhinav has not done anything due to which we are getting threats...Abhinav has not done anything other than devotion that he has to tolerate so much," she had said.
The 'Bal Sant' has been involved in controversies as well with his appearance during a religious procession. Many questioned the authenticity of his spiritual knowledge as he shared the stage with
Revered Hindu spiritual leader Swami Rambhadracharya who was seen asking him to leave after he was offended by his behaviour.
Later in an interview, the seer called Abhinav a "foolish" boy. He is a foolish boy. He claims that Lord Krishna studies with him... Will God study with him? I had scolded him in Vrindavan too," he said.
