“What do you think it’s trying to say? On a scale of 1-10 for how ignorant you’re when you don’t care for your life, you’re an ELEVEN,” said the tweet with a GIF which appears to have been inspired by a scene from the hit TV show Stranger Things.

This is not the first time the Bengaluru Police have used pop culture reference to raise awareness on social media. From Harry Potter to Game of Thrones and Narcos, their tweets have always managed to win the hearts of young internet users with wit and humour.

The department’s tweets are so engaging that Colin Crowell, Twitter’s Vice President of Global Public Policy, cited them at a conference in Indonesia in 2015.
