Maredia said, “Their team members had arrived around 2:30 pm and had been waiting outside the cafe. since then. We had no idea that the people they were waiting for. Later, when we searched online, we realized that Tom was the actor who plays Spider-Man.)
He added, “The three of them came in, had chai and bun maska and kept it to very light snacks. They didn’t stay for long because a huge crowd started gathering. Their bodyguards and the police were there as well. They were at the cafe for no more than 10 to 15 minutes.”
