Mumbai Police has left thousands of internet users hysterical and aware at the same time with its recent anti-drug post on social media. In a bid to warn people against drug usage, Mumbai Police shared a short clip of online chat where sender asks for “favourite heroin?” and the one on the receiving end starts listing names of drugs. However, the twist is, the sender corrects the previous message and said “*heroine”. Implying that the individual was asking about actors, Mumbai Police said it was “high time” that people “auto-correct your habits” of drugs. They also said, “type no to drugs”. 

The caption read, “It's 'high' time you 'auto-correct' your habits because drugs are the wrong ‘type’. #TypeNoToDrugs”
