Kanpur commissioner tried to make poha. Twitter noticed something ‘off’ in his photo

IAS officer Raj Shekhar shared a picture that shows him in the kitchen

Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Raj Shekhar recently tried his hand at cooking and shared a picture from his kitchen on Twitter – but hawk-eyed social media users noticed that something was not right. . When Mr Shekhar posted a picture of himself cooking poha on Sunday, Twitter users were delighted to see that the gas burner under his cooking pot was not burning. The inspection made Mr. Shekhar the target of some mild-mannered jokes on the microblogging platform, though some users also came to his rescue, stating that the gas must have been turned off after the poha was cooked.

“Please wish me good luck. Trying my luck in cooking… Preparing Poha for breakfast under the guidance of Home Minister [sic]The Commissioner of Kanpur shared the picture, in which he is seen smiling for the camera wearing earphones and holding a spatula.

Shiv Sena’s Priyanka Chaturvedi used the picture as an opportunity to take a dig at the rising price of cooking gas.

“BTW the gas needs to be lit…” one Twitter user pointed out in the comments section.

Another said, “To cook without a fire wearing a suit…yes, you need help.”

The IAS officer was criticized for the picture, which many said was staged.
