In a creative move, Delhi Police has used the recent fake death controversy surrounding model and reality TV star Poonam Pandey to convey a crucial road safety message. The police’s social media post cleverly references the sensational incident, encouraging responsible driving habits. While the original post ignited debates, the police are optimistic that it will spur real-life actions such as wearing seat belts and helmets.
The post by Delhi Police said, “You are not Undertaker, Mihir Virani, or a special case who will come alive again. Therefore, always wear a helmet and seat belt.”

The post mentions three individuals – the Undertaker, Mihir Virani, and a special case. The Undertaker, known as Mark William Calaway in real life, is a renowned professional wrestler famous for his theatrical entrances and the character’s ability to “die” and return from the dead in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Mihir Virani is a character from the popular soap opera Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, known for its recurring theme of characters experiencing death and subsequently returning to life.
The special case refers to Poonam Pandey, who has been making headlines for faking her death to raise awareness about cervical cancer. The satirical post has quickly circulated among social media users. The unique approach by Delhi Police aims to grab attention and promote a serious message about road safety.
