Mumbai Police took some creative liberty and redesigned the poster. Instead of Coldplay, Mumbai Police wrote, "Internet Foul Play" and instead of "Music of the Spheres", the city police wrote, "The Criminal Sphere." Instead of "World Tour", Mumbai Police published the poster with the phrase "Safety Tour," and instead of "Mystery Guest to be announced", it wrote, "Mystery Fraudster to be found."
Mumbai Police ended the pungame by writing, "1930 Behind You. Queue Attended 24/7 IST."
Along with the post, the Mumbai Police wrote the caption reading, "Lost something you can’t replace? Stuck in reverse? Could it be worse? 1930 will try to fix you! Let’s not let the scamsters have an adventure of a lifetime."
In case you face any cybercrime activities, then we advise you to reach out to 1930 and get the answers to your questions from the right people. You can also report any such activities to the cybercrime body and they will look into the matter while safeguarding you.
