This is not the first time that the Mumbai police commissioner shared a public awareness post. Last week, he had shared a post urging people to verify facts from official sources before forwarding them on social media. "There’s just one way to find the right answer - Verify. Only trust information from official sources," the caption for the post read.

Another post shared by him, earlier this month, advised people to drive slow during the monsoon. “Arrive later than sooner, but arrive safer. Drive slow during rains,” the caption for the post read.
