The undated video has gone viral and was posted on December 20. The video has amassed more than 1600 views on Twitter and several likes and comments. A user wrote, "Maybe bcoz you are about to enter the 'Worli' assembly constituency!"
A few users also tagged Maharashtra's Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and requested him to look into the matter. "@mieknathshinde kindly look into this. Why are these kinds of promotions allowed."
Other social media users were stunned and called it a "technical glitch".
Weed or cannabis is a psychoactive drug and consumption or selling of weed is illegal in India. Possession of even a small quantity of weed can land a person in jail or in a hospital under the provisions of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985.
