The Twitter team of Mumbai Police that is already quite popular among city folks for its sense of witty humour, has now taken on a new function: addressing complaints on eve-stalking through Twitter.

On August 17, a girl employed with the media reached out to Mumbai Police through Twitter, posting a photo of two unidentified men on a scooty who were chasing the autorickshaw she was commuting in.

As per a report by ANI, the girl called up the Mumbai Police’s control room after which they sprung into action.

The Mumbai police soon tweeted out a picture informing that they had nabbed the culprit, writing “.@Asira_Tarannum reported stalking with a picture of the stalker & his vehicle number didn’t take long for us to hunt down the accused”, also tagging the girl who had reported the incident.

Later, as part of its campaign, Mumbau Police tweeted out the photo of stalking incident, and urged people to report such cases through the microblogging platform using the hashtag “#ReportStalking”.
