Mumbai Police have been acing their social media game one post at a time.

Just days putting up a post on which kind of meow-meow is acceptable, the Mumbai Police is back with another anti-drug post. The police department took to Twitter to explain why it is a 'high' time to ‘auto-correct’ your drug abuse. They posted a graphical video on the micro-blogging platform featuring a fictional online chat in which a user asks another user about his favourite 'heroin' only to get a list of eight different types of 'heroins' as a reply. The first user corrects the spelling to heroines to suggest what he actually meant.
The caption of the post reads, "It's 'high' time you 'auto-correct' your habits because drugs are the wrong ‘type’.'

The video shared on Sunday garnered more than 33,100 views on Twitter with 789 likes and was retweeted 119 times. The users commenting on the video praised the police’s creativity and posted anti-drug messages while some users did not know heroin had other variants.
Be Hero without Heroin !

I really want to follow your social media handlers. I think they are some of the best minds you’ve hired. Keep them happy. Pretty sure almost all advertising agencies are looking for their names. Ya, seriously, who are they?
