I couldn’t stop laughing after reading this tweet and now I follow the Mumbai Police Commissioner’s Twitter handle for much needed giggles through the day.

The cops seem to have cracked a cool way to reach out to young Mumbaikars, with hip humour that gets across a serious message. And guess what, it’s a HIT! Check out some of their funniest, whackiest, nuttiest Tweets that’ll crack you up and yet, drive home the point.

The office of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai made its Twitter debut in December 2015 and since then @CPMumbaiPolice has become one of the most popular accounts on Twitter. So, who is the brainchild behind these hilariously clever tweets? Well, the police brass may be the custodians of this handle, but it is a bunch of peppy social media consultants who are responsible for the fun quotient.

And not just text, they even use fun graphics. All we can say is that this unique mix of copy and cops is working well. As Mr. Javed says, “It’s a team effort”.
