Mumbai Police shared a precautionary post for citizens in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic and guess who featured in it? That kid who made headlines for his viral haircut video. On Instagram, Mumbai Police posted a snippet of Anushrut, who went viral in November after his father posted his video as the child reprimanded the barber for cutting his hair.

In a new post on Instagram, Mumbai Police shared a snippet of Anushrut, wherein the child rebuked the barber for cutting his hair, and said, "Arre, mat karo yaar (Don't do this, please)." This is basically the message that responsible Mumbaikars will tell those citizens who step out of home without masks, Mumbai Police said.
