Pune: Showing their strong stand on women’s safety and privacy, Pune police gave a savage reply to a man, who asked for the number of a woman on Twitter. The thread began on January 12, with a woman named Nidhi Doshi tagging the police department’s official Twitter handle and asking for a police station’s contact number. The department replied to her tweet with the contact number.
Then a man with the handle @Chiklu, replied on the thread asking for the woman’s contact number, tagging the department. Pune police did not waste much time and gave a perfect reply to him. Before knowing the police’s reply, here’s a look at the thread.

He is doing this in front of police, imagine what in police's absence.
We also respect privacy, but would appreciate a public beating for him..
