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.

Woman throws 18-month-old daughter in drain in Faridabad: Police
Faridabad (PTI): A woman allegedly killed her 18-month-old child - her sixth daughter - by throwing her into a drain in Faridabad, claiming she committed the crime as she was unable to take care of her family due to poverty, according to police.
The incident occurred near Dheeraj Nagar on April 23 when the girl's body was found stuck in an iron mesh along a drain by two school children, the police said on Sunday, adding the body was retrieved and sent for a postmortem.
A Crime Branch team, which was probing the case, found CCTV footage showing the girl's mother carrying her in her arms in the area. She then returned alone. The police took the woman into custody, and during questioning, she confessed to throwing the girl into the drain, they said.
The infant died of drowning.
The accused was identified as Neelam, a native of Madhubani in Bihar. She lived in Faridabad with her husband Sanjay, who works in a private firm, the police said.
A senior investigating officer said that during interrogation, the woman said that the deceased was the youngest of her six daughters and that she was driven to commit the crime due to poverty.
"She revealed that her family's financial situation was extremely poor, and with six daughters, she was unable to raise them properly," the officer said.
Police spokesperson Yashpal said they are investigating the matter and the entire picture will be clear soon.
