Shared from Mumbai Police’s official Twitter account and Instagram page on July 25, the image is accompanied with a caption reading, “When you wear a mask but do not maintain 6-feet distance: #TheUselessGate #TakingOnCorona”.

The photo shows a lush, green open space. Amidst the greenery is a mighty-looking gate, made out of stone and metal.

Thus, anyone can walk to-and-fro it without hindrance.
