Shared a few hours ago, the post has piqued people’s attention and it’s clear from all the comments they have dropped. An Instagram user wrote that it’s “literally dark humour”, to which another replied “all shades of dark.”
Someone, probably not familiar with the famous character Babu Rao from film Hera Pheri, wrote that the department misspelled the word “risk.” Others, however, came to the department’s rescue and wrote that ‘yeh babu rao ka style hai’.One person even wrote that they read the message in the voice of the character.
“Hahahahha jo koi bhi ye a/c handle kar raha hai – pranam,” commented yet another Instagram user. “When Mumbai Police is out patrolling, bahar jaaneka bilkul ricks nai leneka,” wrote another.
