While replying, Mumbai Police cheekily told the man to behave like a responsible citizen and if breathlyzer detects alcohol, he will be put behind the bars. The caption read, "Sir, we recommend your raise your bar & ride in a chauffeur driven car, after drinking, like a ‘responsible citizen'. Else if the breathalyzer detects the alcohol content in the wine you drank (which it will to be frank), you will have to be our guest behind the bars. (sic)."
