Around 600 chemical-laced decorative phuchkas, a popular street food in Kolkata, went missing from a Durga Puja pandal's decor. The organizers alerted the police due to concerns that people who consumed them may be harmed. The phuchkas were treated with resin and a hardener to preserve their appearance. Visitors were warned not to eat them, but some were still tempted to try. The incident highlights the unexpected curiosity and temptation that phuchkas can elicit.
