The tweet went viral just few minutes after it was posted and comments and criticism on the tweet started coming in. Though, she had not tagged Mumbai police in the post, she received a reply from them which said, "We love puns too Ms De but this one is totally misplaced. Uniform/official not ours. We expect better from responsible citizens like you."

The officer wearing in the picture is not even from Maharashtra police. But Twitteratis criticising her saying "it amounts to body shaming and a bad joke."
