In the video shared by Patra, Khan can be heard saying: "Allah ne tay kar diya hai ke zalimon ka khatma hoga. Hum zariya banenge (Allah has decided tyrants will be finished. We will become the medium)." Patra, knowingly or unknowingly, mixed the word zariya (medium or source) with sharia and shared the video spreading misinformation.

In a separate development, Patra recieved a notice from the Election Commission over what it termed was, prima facie, a statement that had the "potential of disturbing communal harmony and aggravating the existing differences between social and religious communities".

Asking people to beware of those sitting next to him, leaders of the AAP and Congress, during a news channel debate, Patra had said: "These people will enter your homes and hit you, same people, who were responsible for the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. Who are these people? That day is not far away when these people will enter your homes and hit you."
