Mumbai Police is Winning Twitter With Posts Against Sexual Harassment

Mumbai Police are making the most of Twitter, which they joined last December. Less than a month later, their official accounts (they have two) are winning over netizens thanks to their cleverly-worded tweets about safety. The latest posts deal with cyber-stalking and sexual harassment on social media.

The handles @MumbaiPolice and @CPMumbaiPolice, which is the Police Commissioner's official account, are brilliantly making the case for caution. Safety first, whether on the road or online, is the message for the city. The tweets promote catchy hashtags like #TrafficMantraIn140 and have even employed the au courant 'Be Like Bill' memes to grab people's attention.

Here are some of their best tweets on current agenda, promoting cyber safety this week:
