Yesterday, Jaipur police crossed all limits while trying to troll Bumrah, by posting his no-ball picture. They received a lot of backlash for making fun of a cricketer, who has made India proud, many a times. Actually, the police was trying to explain how dangerous it can be to cross the line, but the usage of picture was wrong. They had even put up hoardings of that pic.
When Bumrah saw the picture, he gave a befitting reply to the cops; it showed that he was hurt on getting such a treatment from them. Bumrah, who was very angry, posted these 2 tweets;
@traffic_jpr well done Jaipur traffic police this shows how much respect you get after giving your best for the country. pic.twitter.com/y0PU6v9uEc

Police posting an insulting tweet for a cricketer makes a great impact and in fact, the virality of the post increases too.
After Bumrah slammed them, they deleted the tweet and not only that, they even took a U-Turn. Cops posted a series of tweets to clarify their act. Have a look…

The tweets read,
“Dear @jaspritbumrah93, our intent was not to hurt your sentiments or the sentiments of millions of cricket fans. We only intended to create more awareness about traffic rules. You are a youth icon & an inspiration for all of us”
Although they issued clarifications, it was too late, as Bumrah’s fans had already thrashed them with harsh tweets. Next time, cops should be very careful while tweeting something, especially about famous personalities, as it might hurt their sentiments.
