This was Mumbai Police’s witty response,
Sir, we recommend your raise your bar & ride in a chauffeur driven car, after drinking, like a ‘responsible citizen’.
Else if the breathalyzer detects the alcohol content in the wine you drank (which it will to be frank), you will have to be our guest behind the bars https://t.co/KS0WnOZ6pP— मुंबई पोलीस – Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) January 29, 2022
