Another one has warned people against creating any nuisance like sharing fake news or hurting communal harmony may invite the “hospitality” of the police.

“Special offer of #Rajasthan_Police on #Diwali. One mistake can make you visit the lock-up, that too for free. If (you) become a threat to the communal harmony, then (you) will have a direct meeting with the guards of the state,” the post read.

A post titled ‘Diwali Double Dhamaka’ read “special treatment” will be given on harming communal harmony and a “vehicle will come to pick up, and it will take you straight to the police station”.

“A total of six graphics have been prepared for sharing on the official accounts of Rajasthan police on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram during the festival season. This is for giving messages to people in an innovative manner,” a police official said.
