The Mumbai Police has a truly fascinating social media presence.
From tweeting out the lame excuses they’ve received from motorists, to sharing complaints of many troubled Mumbaikars, the police force has always found innovative ways of getting their message across.
Their latest endeavour, however, might be their best yet, as they’ve begun adding their own captions to a number of famous Amitabh Bachchan dialogues, in an effort to deter various types of crimes.
