The police registered a case under IPC Section 269, which constitutes to 'Negligent act likely to spread infection of disease danger­ous to life'. Netizens have flooded the comment section of the post appreciating the police, while some of them joked about the 'Pawri ho rahi hai' reference.

The meme was a top trend in India last month after a video of a Pakistan girl surfaced online, where she deliberately mispronounces 'party' as 'pawri', mocking Desis who return from abroad with a changed accent. In the video, the Pakistani girl named Dananeer Mobeen can be seen standing close to a car with her friends, saying, "Yeh humaari car hai, aur yeh hum hai. Aur yeh humari pawri ho rahi," deliberately emphasising on English words 'car' and 'party'.
