In recent years, the Indian police force has really upped their social media game. Tech-savvy cops not only have savages responses for culprits but also have hilarious warnings for victims on digital platforms. From using Wing Commander’s “I am not supposed to tell you this” to tweeting about a huge marijuana bust, the police are efficiently using modern technology to handle crime.
Recently, a law student from Pune approached the city police on Twitter. She inquired about the phone number of Dhanori police station in the city, reports News 18.
Check out her Tweet:
@PuneCityPolice Can I get the number of Dhanori police station please. Need urgently!
— Nidhi Doshi (@nidhidoshi12) January 12, 2020
Pune Police obliged to her request and promptly provided her with the contact information:
Yes madam, this is 020- 27171190 dhanori police chowki contact number.

After the cops provided the woman with the number, a Twitter user had the nerve to ask the authorities for the said student’s number:
@PuneCityPolice can i get her number please ?

Pune police had a befitting reply for the over smart man:
Sir, we are more interested in your number currently, to understand your interest in the lady’s number. You may DM. We respect privacy. https://t.co/LgaD1ZI2IT

People really appreciated the cop’s savage response:
Whoever is handling the official twitter handle of Pune City Police, I salute your wit and at the same time handling of such uncalled for tweets. Hope to see other city police, especially Delhi, to learn from you. Much respect!

Who ever handling the @PuneCityPolice is either very professional or a very good person.
We need more such people, specially in Police.
More Power to you.

Many people were also concerned about the intentions of the man and asked the police to take appropriate action against him:
Did you guys manage to atleast have a word with him? We all would like to know 🙂👍🏻

Dear Pune Police, we appreciate your prompt response and your friendly approach towards the general public. However, you cannot take these guys lightly as they might become a potential threat in future

Such people should be punished or summonsed.. They don't even have fear to ask such questions to Police..!

Hi Pune Police… This is a potential eve teaser atleast…
He is doing this in front of police, imagine what in police's absence.
We also respect privacy, but would appreciate a public beating for him..
— The Beer Guy (@TheBeeerguy) January 12, 2020
Please check this guy looks like a potential threat to the lady and ladies

Sir,
He will not DM it. Plz ask your cyber dept to locate this guy and interrogate him properly.— Vijendra Singh Rawat 🇮🇳 (@VijenderSinghR8) January 12, 2020
This is not the first time Pune police has promptly replied to a tweet. Previously, they had helped a critically ill patient quickly reach the hospital after a concerned person had tweeted about it. Kudos to the Pune police for being so active and vigilant on social media.
