Referring to the holy month of Ramadan, Sutapa linked the timing of his death to faith and prayer.

He said, “In my part of the world we are fasting in Ramzan. And Irfan must be telling you that by fasting. And to make you understand this better he has called you there in Ramzan. Happy marriage and Ramzan!!”
