The UP Police on Friday (February 25) took to their social media platform to upload a video for the #Armslengthfromcrime initiative, inspired by the trailer of Akshay Kumar's action-comedy, Bachchhan Paandey. The Police force shared a video clip of approximately two minutes and wrote, "Bhai Ho Ya Godfather, Baukaal aur Bhay Sirf Kanoon Ka Chalega #ArmslengthfromCrime”.
The video showcased a reel to real-life comparison, as it highlighted how the only thing to fear is the law, as it featured visuals of criminals being nabbed in regions like Shamli, Auraiya, Sambhal, Firozabad, Saharanpur, Hathras, Muzaffarnagar, Gonda and Basti among others. The video also showcased statistics including 9689 weapons, 10052 bullets, 229 kg explosive substances and 311 bombs that were seized and 2039 weapon licenses that have been revoked due to misuse under the Arms Act.
The UP Police's creative and unique idea impressed netizens who were quick to react. One of them wrote, "Up police is progressing service wise, Captain like Akash Sir really result producing, still there some areas which need to be correct hopefully rectify early."
