Taking to Instagram, the Uttar Pradesh Police wrote, "Wishing a happy #Holi to all! Remember that consent is the key to keeping the festival vibrant. If you experience any harassment or assault, #Dial112 for police assistance."

They also shared an infographic that read, "Balam Pichkari jo 'without consent' mujhe maari...toh 1090 pe calling ho gayi."
