Mumbai Police has been leading the pack when it comes to raising awareness about coronavirus and the safety measures that need to be followed. Their public awareness posts have references from popular films, web series, sports, and social media trends.
After garnering praises for a post featuring German web series Dark, Mumbai Police has now come up with a post with reference to popular TV series âBrooklyn Nine-Nine.'
âBrooklyn Nine-Nine' is a comedy television series about detectives working in the Precinct 99 of the New York Police Department (NYPD) and the hilarious and bizarre ways they adopt to solve crimes.
If you're a fan of the series, then Mumbai Police's latest post will remind you of one of its most hilarious scenes featuring the Backstreet Boys' song âI Want It That Way'. The twist the police have given to the scene is not just funny but also makes people reflect on how important wearing a mask has become during this pandemic.

Number 5 endangered all our lives. You simply cannot forget your mask!" The post concluded with the hashtags #99ForMasks and #WeWantItThatWay.
Shared on Wednesday morning, the post garnered more than 1,500 likes. Users familiar with the scene shared hilarious reactions whereas some also praised Mumbai Police for their creativity.
