The tweet from the Mumbai Police received hundreds of likes and comments.
Time and time again, the Mumbai Police has made use of various memes and other video-based public service announcements to raise awareness of various things. On Monday, it asked people to contact the police by dialing the helpline number and tweeted: “If you encounter life emergencies, don’t ‘interezaar’, but #Dial100”. To this, a Twitter user jokingly reported to them that he was trapped in space, and authorities quickly joined in the fun and responded with an equally hilarious post.
In the tweet, the user named @BMSKhan shared a photo of a person dressed as an astronaut standing on the moon. Our blue planet is also visible in the background. “I got stuck here,” he wrote in the caption.
