This wasn't the first time Delhi Police used a popular event or meme to draw home their point. Earlier, they referred to the viral 'Ganji Chudail' meme, an animated character, to convey a message about road safety.
They posted a picture of the meme character wearing a helmet with the text, "Sabko helmet pehnate hain Delhi Police wale (Delhi Police makes everyone wear helmets)".

On Sunday, India beat New Zealand by four wickets with six balls to spare in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This was India's third title. They last won the Champions Trophy in 2013. India was joint-winner with Sri Lanka way back in 2002.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma was named the Player of the Match for his brilliant 76-run innings in the Indian chase. New Zealand's Rachin Ravindran was declared the player of the tournament for his all-round heroics.
