The Mumbai police surely knows how to tickle a funny bone in 140 characters yet drive home the point of public safety.

The Mumbai police commissioner's Twitter account has grown to have at least 22,000 followers since it was launched alongside the force's other official account, @MumbaiPolice, on December 27, 2015. The latter has over 30,000 followers.

The individuals manning the two twitter accounts have been shooting across brilliant one-liners that have met with tremendous response on the social media. Sample some them below.

1. There’s a ‘Meth’od to reach out

2. Rolling it right

3. Freebie alert!

4. Million dollar advice

5. Honking your karma

6. A date with the uniform

7. Helmet or ‘Hell-met’

8. Dare not drive them crazy

9. Filmy but not flimsy
