Twitter user asks Mumbai Police how he can meet his girlfriend in lockdown
Mumbai Police wins heart with reply
Mumbai: A Twitter user on Thursday asked Mumbai Police by tagging them in a tweet how he can meet his girlfriend adding that he was missing her.
The user named Ashwin Vinod asked what sticker he should use (on his vehicle) to come out on the road to meet his girlfriend.
“@MumbaiPolice what sticker should I use in order to go out and meet my girlfriend? I miss her” he wrote in the tweet.
Although it was a funny tweet, it was Mumbai Police’s reply that was fonder and heart-winning. The official handle of Mumbai Police added that it understands the need was essential for the user but said “unfortunately it doesn’t fall under our essentials or emergency categories!”.
It further added the distance makes the heart grow fonder and in times like these, it keeps people healthier, it then wished the user “lifetime together” adding this was just a phase.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
