Thanks to their clever use of puns, memes, and pop culture references, the Mumbai Police are often called the meme police by netizens. The Mumbai Police have consistently made social media posts to raise awareness about cyber safety.

In December last year, their Twitter handle shared a set of witty graphics that highlighted several simple but effective safety measures that people should adhere to as they navigate their ever-increasing online presence.

Before that in 2016, the Mumbai Police celebrated the ‘Cyber Safety Week’, during which they posted several public service messages in form of memes and quirky one-liners. One of those tweets was, “’Email’ can turn into ‘Blackmail’ if you allow it to. Be cautious. #CyberSafetyWeek”.

Mumbai, also known as the financial capital of India, has seen a steep rise in cyber fraud in recent years. To tackle these cases, the government set up a cyber-police station for each of the five regions of the city—south, central, east, west and north Mumbai.
