Apart from the work on the field, the social media handles of the numerous police forces too keep making headlines for its interesting posts. Be it using memes to explain a traffic offence or immediately put someone who makes an offensive statement in a spot, the handles’ popularity has been on the rise. However, Pune Police’s official Twitter handle went one step ahead of this by inviting all the singles for a ‘chai date.’

The message prompted them to invite all citizens of Pune for a ‘chai date’ with the Commissioner of Police. They urged those interested to come to their office by 5 PM on Friday. They also asked to send details to confirm it.

Several netizens had a hilarious take on it, one said he'd prefer coffee over tea, another asked if smoking was allowed, a user delivered film dialogues to them and another asked them to request their bosses to give him a holiday to attend the meet. On the other hand, one thought it was a good opportunity for them to discuss the problems of the city. The handle replied courteously to most of the comments.
