Police departments across the country have often been trying different ways to make people aware of social issues.
Mumbai Police tops the list when it comes to raising awareness by unique means, either online or offline. But this time, it is the Delhi Police who has been winning hearts on social media for their new awareness campaign concerning the rise of cybercrimes in the city.
To spread awareness about cybercrimes, the Delhi Police has used ZooZoos, the black-and-white funny characters from telecom company Vodafone’s ad. These ZooZoo characters gained quite a lot of popularity during the Indian Premier League (IPL) Season 2.
In the Delhi Police’s clip, a ZooZoo is seen mocking a crocodile with a fish in its hand. As the ZooZoo gets closer to feed the crocodile, it runs back and laughs hilariously. He tries it again, and this time it laughs louder. However, in its third attempt, the crocodile eats up the ZooZoo.
While the video is on, an embedded caption runs along with it saying “having fun online… hackers waiting for one wrong move.”
