Comments on 'Modeling Galaxy Halos Using Dark Matter with Pressure'

We comment on the calculational mistake in the paper 'Modeling galaxy halos using dark matter with pressure' by Somnath Bharadwaj and Sayan Kar. The authors made a mistake while calculating the metric, which led to an overestimate of the deflection angle of light passing through the halos for -1 < w{sub r} < -0.5 and an underestimate of the deflection angle for -0.5 < w{sub r} < 0. In addition, the solution for w{sub r} > 0 should not exist. Although the Bharadwaj-Kar solution should be corrected, it appears that the characteristics of the deflection angle under the supposed nonconventional, nonideal fluid equation of state for the dark matter halo remain sensitive to the impact parameter and may be verifiable through observations
