Overview
- Mumbai Police’s Instagram carousel pairs “Bura Mat Dekho/Suno/Kaho” with a final “Bura Mat Karo” slide featuring Punch holding a stuffed toy.
- The post carries the line “Be wise, report vice” and the hashtags #JustPunchIn112 and #WiseMonkeyAdvise to drive helpline recall.
- Officials reiterate that 112 links citizens to police, fire and medical response across all States and Union Territories via call, SMS, email, a panic button or the 112 India app.
- The outreach echoes a recent Delhi Police post that also used Punch’s image to encourage people to dial 112.
- Punch, a Japanese macaque from Ichikawa City Zoo who was abandoned at birth and went viral clinging to a plush toy, is now slowly integrating with other monkeys, according to zookeepers.
