Online scams have been rising during the pandemic as the number of such cyber fraud cases have been reported online. However, Pune Police took an unconventional road and used a witty Gangs of Wasseypur based meme to warn the public about these incidents.

On July 4, Pune Police used the renowned “Chaabi Kahan Hai…Kahan Hai Chaabi?” (Where is the key?) meme template from the film to warn people not to fall prey to unverified listings on online marketplace websites like OLX/ Quikr. The caption states that the iconic dialogue would be spoken by a Cyber victim to a fraudster after they paid them in advance for a scooty listed on Olx/Quikr at half the price. The hilarious method was well-received by the netizens who applauded the quirky message.

However, this isn’t the first time that Pune Police has won over netizens’ hearts with their sublime humour to raise awareness.

Police requested public to stop calling unverified numbers who claim to supply these medicines.
