In the tweet, the Assam Police mocked those who were trying to move close to 600 kg of Cannabis around Chagolia Checkpoint. The Assam Police's Twitter account had posted saying:

'Anyone lost a huge (590 kgs) amount of Cannabis/Ganja and a truck in and around Chagolia Checkpoint last night? Don't panic, we found it. Please get in touch with Dhubri Police. They will help you out, for sure. Great job. Team Dhubri,' the tweet said.

After a major section of the media reportedly inaccurately that two film extras dressed like jihadi - terrorists were arrested by Mumbai Police, the force's Twitter account posted a GIF from the hit show 'The Big Bang Theory'. 

'If you don't mind, I'd like to stop listening to you', the GIF said. It was accompanied with a message to Fake newsmongers which read: "You do not need to ‘process so much stupid’! Just send this to all the #FakeNews mongers #TheBigFactTheory".
