No matter how stringently the government and local police forces impose a curfew of lockdown to get the pandemic under control, some people just can’t stay at home. They just have to step out, for some reason or the other.

Well, on the occasion of World Laughter Day, the Mumbai Police put up some of the excuses that they have had to listen to when dealing with people who broke the curfew. And boy oh boy, are they hilarious.

The first excuse reads as follows: -

We just have one question. What sort of an “emergency” needs just one band-aid. More to that, what medical emergency needs band-aids?

Well, this guy needed remotes for a match featuring Mumbai.

This one seems legit, right?

And this man has got his priorities on point.

I mean, nothing, and we mean absolutely nothing compared to a good ol’ paan, right? And how can one even think of putting on a mask, while chewing a pan?

And finally, what better excuse than food. That too a delish vada pav.

The funniest bit, though, was how the post revealed that these are in fact what people have actually said. The caption for the post reads - 

“All the characters and events depicted are real. Any resemblance to a person living or dead is purely intentional.”

Seriously, the people in charge of the Mumbai Police’s Social Media handles deserve recognition, and if possible, a solid raise. Just recently, on 20th April (read it ‘4:20’), they put up a rather dope post.

People had some hilarious reactions to this post as well.

Always bang on @MumbaiPolice
Thanks for making me smile

Why can't we keep such people in police custody for at least 24 hours? Merely penalising with fine is not going to blow some sense in the mind of such people.

In all seriousness though, do stay at home if you're healthy, and only step outside only if it is absolutely necessary.
