Praveen Patil has made video of announcements in his own style

Surat: An attempt by a police head constable turned him into an overnight social media sensation, thanks to his witty 15-seconds video.
Praveen Patil, the in-charge of a police control room vehicle in Udhna police station created and shared his video making an announcement on the megaphone installed in his van.
On patrolling duty in Bhimnagar, Patil, wearing dark glasses delivered his salvo in Hindi: "Koi Bhi Apne Gharo Se Bahar Niklega Nai, Tod Denge Tumhare Sharir Ka Kona Kona, Magar... Hone Nahi Denge Tumko Corona!"
His mobile phone is now flooded with messages from friends who are sending him screenshots of his video being shared widely.
“I made a video to create awareness through social media as well and shared it with few friends,” said Patil.
A cop for 20 years, Patil has never got a reward in terms of popularity like this. “People like it and my main purpose of giving the ‘stay at home’ message has served its purpose. I am glad,” he added.
