IPL 2019 | Kolkata Police uses Ashwin-Mankad incident to warn people about traffic rules

A lot of anger has already been thrown at Ashwin for adopting a “controversial” way to dismiss Jos Buttler on Sunday. While asking to take the moral high ground has been the major order so far, Kolkata Police found an innovative way of promoting traffic awareness with the help of that particular incident. 

With a picture collage, with one being the picture of "mankading" with the other being a traffic-signal misdemeanour and captioned it in Bengali, whose loose English translation could be, “At the crease or on the road, you're going to pay the price for being in front of the line.”

This is not the first time, Indian police have found such a way to promote traffic awareness as Jaipur Police had used Jasprit Bumrah bowling a no-ball to Fakhar Zaman image on a billboard as a means to traffic awareness. The caption read: "Don't cross the line. You know it can be costly." That, however, didn't go down well with Bumrah, who criticised Jaipur police for the same.
