After taking a sly dig at everyone who forwards fake news on Whatsapp, in a Paatal Lok way, Mumbai Police put their creative skills to test yet again as they drew inspiration from Robert Pattinson's The Batman look to educate the masses about how to wear a mask correctly. Amid the coronavirus lockdown, the Mumbai Police took to Twitter to tell people about safety measures by sharing a photograph of Pattinson sporting a mask that does not cover his mouth and nose.

Therefore, the department used the photograph to drive home an important message that one should wear their face masks properly to prevent themselves from falling prey to the novel Coronavirus In addition to tweeting the photograph, they captioned it writing, "How not to wear a mask! " and used the hashtag #BATforsafetyMAN, displaying yet another example of their witty wordplay.
