Man Asks Zomato If It Delivers "Bhaang Ki Goli", Delhi Police Responds

The Delhi Police has time and again utilised social media for issuing advisories and raising awareness in its quirky way. This time, the department has advised a person against driving if he consumes bhaang or cannabis.

The advisory came after food delivery giant Zomato shared, in a tweet, that a person named Shubham had been repeatedly enquiring if the platform delivers “bhaang ki goli”.

“Someone please tell Shubham from Gurgaon we don't deliver bhaang ki goli. He has asked us 14 times,” the tweet read.

Another user, whose name happens to be Shubham, said, “Hello Zomato, I live in Delhi not Gurugram. It has been a ritual to consume Bhaang on Holi every year, more so because my birthday falls on Holi. Please try to understand my situation”.
