'Drug peddlers in Shillong are fooling clients with Rasna', Meghalaya police's tweet cracks Twitter

Shillong: Police departments across the country are showing off their sense of humour with their witty tweets. After Assam police busted a huge stash of cannabis in June, they took to Twitter to ask anyone who had lost 590 kilograms of ganja to come forward to claim it. Then, Rajasthan police promised 'free stay and food' to the dealer of seized drugs.

Now, another witty tweet by Meghalaya police has left netizens in splits. The department tweeted about Shillong drug peddlers selling powdered fruit drink Rasna instead of narcotic substance. The police urged anyone who had been ben ripped off by them to report the incident.

"SCAM ALERT! *clears throat* Shillong market is so dry that peddlers are fooling their clients with Rasna(!?) Powder," Meghalaya Police tweeted.

Take a look:

"If you just got 'Rasna Ripped' off by your drug peddler, you know where to report. Kudos to ANTF (The Anti Narcotic Task Force) team!" the department added.

They also shared a picture of three small packets filled with orange powder.

Netizens are praising the Meghalaya police social media team for their sense of humour. Here are some of the reactions:

A user wrote, "This will be the first time when the drug peddler, the addict and the police will have a blast together. Jokes apart kudos to @MeghalayaPolice."

While another added, "Not only In Shillong but if anybody got in this scam anywhere in India. Do call the cops For a Rasna Drink together."

A third user said, "And then you think you have seen all! #ILoveYouRasna."

Yet another wrote, "Love this with all my heart."
