The Mumbai Police Twitter Account Is Using Wordplay To Spread Awareness About Drug Abuse

The Mumbai Police Twitter account, active since December 2015, has gained a number of fans in just a month for its witty tweets. As part of a series of tweets aimed at spreading awareness about drugs, they started the hashtag #HoshMaiAao on Wednesday, and got everybody talking about it.

Here's how the Commissioner feels about pot-smokers:

If you roll, we will weed you out. #HoshMeinAao

Lysergic acid diethylamide? Nope, more like:

Be a hero without 'heroin'. #HoshMeinAao

I wonder if the Mumbai Police is hiring people to enforce punitive action.

Was hoping the Police would arrest people for using puns but they're doing it themselves now.
