After taking inspiration from the popular web series Paatal Lok to stop the spread of fake news, Mumbai Police has yet again shared a relatable post inspired from the noir-fiction drama. Taking cue from the series' popular dialogue which explains that the world is divided into three loks - Swarg Lok, Dharti Lok and Pataal Lok, the Mumbai Police gave it a witty twist with an important message.
Adding a twist to the Paatal Lok's dialogue, Mumbai Police said that there's a fourth lok and that's where people need to stay during the COVID-19 crisis. And guess what, the fourth lok is 'Ghir-Lok' (home)! While sharing the witty post with their 1 lakh 23 thousand followers on Instagram, Mumbai Police captioned it, "Grih-Lok is the safest!" They ended their caption with the hashtag, #GrihLokIsTrending, #StayHome and #StaySafe.
