Spiritual orator Abhinav Arora's father Tarun Raj Arora has responded to allegations over the questions and 'scripted' responses being asked to the 'Bal Sant' in interviews.
Tarun Raj Arora denied the allegations that Abhinav has the same answers for every interview, saying "What are you expecting from a 10-year-old boy?"
"Is someone asks him (Bal Sant) at what time he wakes up and he wakes up regularly at 3:30 am, then the answers will be the same. If they question would be asked if he goes to school, then the answer will be the same as 'Yes, I go to school," Tarun Arora said in an interview to ANI.
"If there will be four different podcasts and four different people asking the (same) question, then the answer will differ. What are you expecting from a 10-year-old boy that he will answer in four different ways," he said.
Abhinav's father also said that the spiritual orator has stopped going to school after the online trolling.
"Abhinav is taking both his spiritual learning and worldly learning. But after the trolling, he is not able to go to school. He is taking his lessons in spiritual and worldly learning at his home," the father said.
On being questioned about the FIRs against YouTubers for the alleged trolling, Tarun Raj Arora said, "Trolling has been going on social media for a long time now. People online used to comment on Abhinav's speech, they used to body shame him but when his devotion was being called a lie we felt a line has been crossed. We felt some YouTubers were benefitting from trolling Abhinav. Then, we approached the court of law."
Abhinav Arora, meanwhile, said that he never calls himself 'Bal sant' adding that the name has been given to him by the media.
