Man wanting to meet girlfriend gets witty response from Mumbai Police
The Hindu
‘It does not fall under our essentials or emergency categories’
The Mumbai Police’s humorous reply to a Twitter user, who wanted to meet his girlfriend during the ongoing novel coronavirus-induced restrictions imposed by the Maharashtra government, has won the hearts of netizens. Section 144 of the CrPC that prohibits assembly of five or more people at one place is in force in Mumbai and other parts of the State. The city police have also made it mandatory for the vehicles in emergency/essential services to put up colour-coded stickers. A Twitter user named Ashwin Vinod tagged the Mumbai Police and tweeted that he wanted to meet his girlfriend, and asked which sticker he should use for his vehicle to move out. “@MumbaiPolice what sticker should I use in order to go out and meet my girlfriend? I miss her,” he said.
