Pune Police's reply to a man who 'creepily' asked for the number of a woman on Twitter has taken the internet by storm. Nidhi Joshi had asked for the number of Dhanori police station on January 11 and Pune Police had immediately responded to her. However, another Twitter user named 'Chiklu' replied to the same tweet and asked for the lady's number. Within a few hours, the police replied to the man saying they are currently 'more interested' in Chiklu's number to understand his 'interest' in lady's phone number. Furthermore, the official also suggested the man message the lady directly as the police 'respects privacy'.

Apparently because the 'simple tweet' caught such fame on the internet, the same man, Chiklu has tweeted on January 13 taking a step back on is original response and claimed he is 'responsible'. He further said that he wanted to help the woman but accused Pune police of 'taking the conversation in the wrong direction'.
Being an indian and responsible citizen i wanted to help that girl but you took that conversation in wrong direction 😏 https://t.co/hEqoDbSEag
