Famous for its social media presence, Mumbai Police is again winning hearts of netizens by targeting the “fake news peddlers” using dialogue from newly released Paatal Lok on Amazon Prime. While the online web series is already being used to create memes on the internet, Mumbai Police said when people who share that the ‘exclusive’ news are asked where is it from, they reply saying it was found through WhatsApp forwards. The dialogue ‘Maine Whatsapp mein padha tha’ is the answer of 'peddlers' of false news who mindlessly believe everything that is received on the application and deem WhatsApp as 'credible'.

‘Brilliant take’
The image has been posted today and since then it has already garnered hundreds of likes and retweets. One of the internet users also posted laughing emoticons and many were seen being hysterical with Mumbai Police’s ‘savage’ response. Another Twitter user even noted that the Mumbai Police took a “brilliant” take on the issue and even tagged official handles of other police officials and advised to ‘take cue’ from the former. Many agreed that news received on Facebook-owned WhatsApp is "always false".

Good step, in every state police should follow the example. And fake must be behind bar. Without any discrimination on the basis of poor, rich, dignity...
