The nasty fight between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir after Monday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match has clearly become the talk-of-the-town! After Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Kohli who seemingly looked agitated got into a heated war of words with the LSG mentor. While videos of their argument went viral on social media, it also triggered a meme fest on the internet, leaving users in splits. Joining the bandwagon, the Uttar Pradesh Police has now changed it into their own version of an ‘informative’ advisory. Taking to Twitter, the police department while giving a witty twist to it also shared a picture showing Kohli and Gambhir at loggerheads with each other.
Notably, this comes at a time when police departments across the country have been using fun and innovative ways to create awareness on various topics.
Speaking of which, the UP Police’s epic advisory shows how the department urges citizens to “avoid argument” and instead dial 112 in case of emergencies. While making a witty reference to the argument between the two cricketers, the department wrote, “Koi Bhi Masla Humare Liye ‘Virat’ aur ‘Gambhir’ Nahi.”

As soon as the tweet was posted, social media users took no time to share their reactions. Many also lauded the police department’s hilarious take on the argument between Kohli and Gambhir. A user wrote, “Amazing & True…”, while another one wrote, “What an idea for messaging awareness of #112dial by UP Police really very meaningful.”
“Creative up police,” a user commented.
