The use of the word ‘thulla’ by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in an interview to a news channel has invited a lot of backlash from policemen.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s jibe at policemen calling them ‘thulla’ (slang for a policeman) has not gone down well with the police force. In a sharp and sarcastic reply, Madhur Verma DCP, North Delhi, tweeted on Sunday, “One of our so called ‘Thu**a’ who rescued 4 yr old Khushbu from Kamla Nagar & reunited with her mother!!”

Verma also posted the picture of the child rescued by a constable. Verma’s post has been retweeted over 1,400 times with 691 favourites till the filing of this report.
