The Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru City, also commented on the video. He tweeted:

Shared a few hours back, the video has already amassed more than 35,000 views – and still counting. Other than that, it has also gathered about 2,000 likes.

People couldn’t stop applauding the cop’s gesture and many dropped comments praising him.

However, there were some who pointed out that he shouldn’t have to do it as Bengaluru’s civic body should have taken proper care of the drainage system.
