Pathan captioned the post, “Easy afternoons, good chai, and calm surroundings. Just soaking in the moment.” This did not sit well with some people on the internet.



One user commented under the post, “Waha murshidabad jaal raha hai aur aap ghum rahe ho? (Murshidabad is burning and you’re travelling)”.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Poonawala said, “Bengal is burning.
