Mumbai Police has been amusing and educating its followers with hilarious public advisory posts ever since the beginning of the lockdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak. From urging people to stay indoors and abide by the lockdown orders to taking the necessary precautions, the police department has been taking a cue from films such as 'Stree', 'Tenet', and 'Extraction'.
In their latest post, the Mumbai Police took inspiration from Ayushmann Khurrana-Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Gulabo Sitabo to deliver an important message for cybersecurity. The police department has shared a still from the trailer of the film to advise their followers to adopt a strong password for their online profiles.
Khurrana is seen in the still, saying, "Humein godh lelo" (Adopt me), with the police department writing in the captions, "Strong password to Mumbaikars with a weak password!" What makes the post look even more funnier is the hashtags, '#$tr0ngP@$$w0u00e2u0082u00b9d' and '#BlockbusterPassword' written below the caption.
