Mumbai Police joins in on Baahubali 2 craze with their own question

The tweet was an instant hit, and no surprises there.

You may now know Why Kattappa killed Baahubali by now, but can you answer this question?

The answer to the question ‘Why Kattappa killed Baahubali?’ has finally been answered. (Don’t worry, we’re not giving out any spoilers here in case you haven’t seen the movie yet.) And while we had a ball in the run up to the release of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion with all sorts of memes and even spoof leave applications, so much so that the makers stood up and took notice – coming out with an ‘official’ leave form, it seems even law enforcement authorities aren’t immune to the craze.

But then, to be fair, the Mumbai Police has time and again displayed a particularly brilliant sense of humour as well as timing. Well, how could a phenomenon like Baahubali grip the country and the ever-astute Twitter handle of the Mumbai Police force not take cognizance of it. Playing on the question that played on the minds of all fans – Kattappa ne Baahubali ko kyun mara?

But then, Mumbai Police had another question that could only be answered by the public at large. “Why don’t people follow traffic rules?” they tweeted, along with the caption and hashtag “And the second, can be answered only by you! #BahubaliOfTrafficDiscipline.”

Ahead of the rollout of GST 2.0 effective from September 22, companies have announced lower prices for over 375 common-use goods. The government has urged corporates to pass on the benefits to consumers, resulting in cheaper prices for FMCG products, milk, butter, cheese, pickles, jams, and ice creams. Other items like shampoo, soap, cement, durable goods, and cars may also see a reduction.
