Indian Police Forces Are the Wittiest on Social Media, Feels Anand Mahindra; Shares This Punjab Police’s Hilarious Post as Example
Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, recently expressed his admiration for Indian police forces, recognizing their innovative and impactful use of social media platforms.
In a tweet, Mahindra specifically highlighted the Punjab Police for their creative approach to spreading awareness about road safety in a lighthearted yet meaningful way.
Ahead of New Year’s Eve, the Punjab Police shared a witty post that humorously cautioned against drinking and driving, engaging in street fights, and breaking the law. The post promised “special treatment” at the city police station for those who ignored the warnings. This tongue-in-cheek message aimed to ensure safer celebrations during the festive season.
Mahindra shared the post on X (formerly Twitter), adding his praise:
“Police forces around the country are amongst the savviest & coolest users of social media… Happy New Year to you too, @PunjabPoliceInd!”
