Ever since the Coronavirus outbreak, Mumbai Police has successfully managed to up its social media game as their posts went from basic traffic safety rules to hilarious memes for raising awareness on preventive measures to curb the rapid spread of COVID-19, comprising wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing. In order to maintain their daily task of spreading awareness regarding the same and urging netizens to follow the guidelines, Mumbai Police has now taken cues from the iconic American television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Season 5. Episode 17.

Deemed as one of the best cold-open of the tv series ever, episode 17 of season 5 has Detective Jake Peralta with a line-up of suspects while the only lead available is that the victim’s sister had heard the killer sing the famous Backstreet Boys’ song, 'I Want It That Way'. Thus, Jake makes each one of them sing the song while the 'number 5' part has gone down in history, having fans laugh their hearts out till date. Hence, Mumbai Police took the same reference from the series and edited it by putting face masks on the first four suspects except for the fifth one. Sharing the tweet, they wrote,
