BCP coveys important message to citizens using Virat Kohli's picture
Bangalore: In the ever-changing world of marketing, companies are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to promote their products. One recent trend that has taken the world by storm is the use of memes, and a Bengaluru-based company is taking this to the next level by hiring a dedicated "Chief Meme Officer" with a generous salary package of over 1 Lakh. Meanwhile, traffic and police authorities have also started to find one’s feet into the “Memeing” way of making the public aware of the rules and guidelines.
In one such instance, The Bangalore City Police on Sunday added a touch of humor to the RCB fan’s Sunday, with a tweet saying “Eee sala....trophy bagge gottilla, guidelines follow maadi parking pakka sigutte,” (We Don’t know about the Trophy, but do follow the guidelines you will certainly get a parking spot).
We need more of these drives tonight.

In addition to the above tweet,The police department's Twitter handle joined the meme marketing trend with its Witty Tweets on Road Safety during IPL 2023, as they wrote “We need more of these drives tonight. But only STRAIGHT DRIVES on the road tonight. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE or you'll be the next wicket.”
The tweets have received an overwhelming response over the sphere. Using memes in marketing and public service announcements has been well-received by the public, highlighting the power of humor and social media to effectively spread messages.
Amidst the scorching heat, RCB’s spectacular win against Mumbai Indians, however, proved to be an exhilarating one for RCB fans, particularly fans of Virat Kohli, as it stoked their enthusiasm for the tournament.
RCB dominated Mumbai Indians in their opening match of IPL 2023, winning by eight wickets in Bengaluru. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis put on a stunning 148-run opening partnership, with du Plessis scoring 73 off 43 balls. Mumbai Indians struggled early on and were 48/4 in 8.5 overs, but Tilak Verma's unbeaten 84 off 46 balls helped them reach a respectable total of 171/7. Verma combined with Nehal Wadhela and Arshad Khan to take the team out of trouble, but RCB comfortably chased down the target with Kohli remaining unbeaten on 82 off 49 balls.

Gurugram CA held for slitting pregnant wife's throat with scissors
Jhajjar (PTI): A chartered accountant has been arrested for allegedly killing his pregnant wife by slitting her throat with a pair of scissors and trying to pass it off as a robbery attempt, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, Anshul Dhawan (31) got married to Mehak (27) in September last year. Both worked in Gurugram.
Police received a call on Sunday night reporting that some unidentified people tried to rob Anshul, took his car and kidnapped his wife, SHO Badli, Inspector Suresh said.
When police reached the spot, they found the woman's body near a dry canal with injury marks on her neck, he said.
Suspecting inconsistencies in Anshul's version of events, police took him into custody for interrogation. He confessed that he had killed Mehak with a pair of scissors, wearing gloves, over suspicions about her character, SHO said.
"During his questioning, it came to light that he had pre-planned the murder. His wife worked in a private bank in Gurugram. He had doubts that she talked to her friends, and he did not like it," SHO added. Following the confession, Anshul was arrested on Monday.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police said.
Mehak's sister, Shruti, told the reporters that the family had doubts that Anshul was involved in the murder. She said, "We want justice; the killer should be hanged. He did not even think that his wife was two months pregnant."
She said on February 15, Anshul came to their house and stayed only for ten minutes and left with Mehal for Gurugram.
Shruti alleged that Anshul had pre-planned the murder.
