Controversy 2026 Olypub beef mix-up On the evening of 30 January 2026, Chakraborty visited Olypub, a restaurant on Park Street, Kolkata, with friends Ananya Guha and Sukanta Kundu. There, he alleged that despite ordering mutton steak, he was served beef, a realization they claimed to have made only after a second plate arrived. He recorded and posted a video on social media showing a confrontation with the restaurant's waiter and manager, alleging a "deliberate attempt" to hurt his religious sentiments.
Following a complaint filed by Chakraborty at the Park Street police station, the police arrested the waiter, Sheikh Nasiruddin, under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for hurting religious sentiments; subsequently, the waiter was denied bail. A debate ensued on social media, with some supporting Chakraborty and others criticizing him for targeting a service lapse. Afterward, Joyraj Bhattacharjee filed a complaint against Chakraborty, accusing him of attempting to incite a riot. Police reported that four complaints were lodged against Chakraborty within 72 hours, and a first information report (FIR) was registered against him.
