A social media user has described an unsettling incident during the CJP protest in Kolkata. The user, âsajahan_anywaysâ, shared his experience through a detailed Instagram carousel post. The demonstration itself drew large crowds carrying various political flags. Groups included Left-affiliated student organisations like SFI, AISA and PDSF. The user then described receiving an unusual Blinkit delivery notification during the CJP protest in Kolkata. The message strangely started with the greeting "Hey Mullah". It stated someone named Shourjya Shikhar Betal had placed an order. The order was reportedly getting delivered within 9 minutes at that point. This report is based on user-generated content from social media. LiveMint has not independently verified the claims and does not endorse them. Instagram Post On Instagram, the user revealed that the delivery location was near a protest site.
It specified "near CPIM protest site Sealdah, Raja Bazar, Kolkata" precisely. The order itself contained a small pack of pork bacon. The user noted this was seemingly a deliberate religious provocation.

Neither will it stop me from believing what is right. You should not have sent that in COD. The least you could've done was pay for what you have ordered. Under this regime, âš228 is luxury, brother,â the user wrote. âYou should have thought about the delivery person (his name was Mohammed). You jeopardised his safety. For you, this person had to come to Sealdah all the way from Park Street just to find that there was no recipient.
Do you know the cost he has to pay for ethanol-blend petrol in this economic crisis?â the user asked. The post criticised the broader treatment of gig workers under current policies. âAnd you SHOULD be sensitive, especially when your government has made Gig workers' lives an absolute hell⌠Didn't you feel an ounce of shame while doing this mockery?â the user asked further. The user suggested that the sender's action reflected personal unhappiness. They attributed it to what they called âmedia-driven Islamophobiaâ. âI know you are sad with your own life, and that is how hating the Muslims eases that painâŚI need you to know that I don't hate you. I understand you. And, from the bottom of my heart, I do believe that one day you will change your views,â the user wrote.
