Maharashtra Police adopted a unique style to urge people to stay indoors in order to fight coronavirus.

A cop was seen crooning the song from Aamir Khan stirrer Sarfarosh and sang “zindagi maut na ban jaye sambhalo yaaro” (dear friend, don’t let this life turn into death, handle it carefully) to convince people into staying back at home.

The sing-song style of urging people to follow lockdown protocol was widely circulated on Twitter in no time.

State home minister Anil Deshmukh also lauded Maharashtra police efforts in making people follow the rules to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Impressed by his performance, the Nationalist Congress Party minister posted the video of the policeman on his Twitter handle and hoped people take notice. His tweet read: “A Maharashtra police constable breaks into a song in a bid to convince people to cooperate and stay indoors. Hope people listen to his musical entreaty!”
