In the vide, Rana, who plays the role of a retired police constable Mahadev Dogra, says that “Police ki duty duty nehi… mohabbat hai.” Loosely translated from Hindi it reads, “Police’s duty is not just duty but love.” Mumbai Police related to that and shared the video with the caption “A sentiment we couldn't agree more with!”

They also added a line in Marathi to the caption. When translated, it reads, “Our duty and love for the city will remain the same!” They concluded the post with the hashtags #KhakiLove and #ServiceFirst.

Take a look at the post:

With over 19,000 views, since being posted about 16 hours ago, the video has also prompted people to post varied comments.

“And we respect your mohabbat,” expressed an Instagram user. “So true,” posted another. A few also shared love emoticons to express their reactions.
