The Delhi Police are at it again, leveraging the power of social media to spread awareness about public safety. This time, they tapped into the internet’s beloved meme icon, Ganji Chudail, to deliver an important road safety message.
In a recent post, the Delhi Police featured Ganji Chudail donning a helmet, accompanied by the catchy caption: “Mujhse nahi, chot se daro! Helmet pehno!” (Don’t be afraid of me, be scared of getting hurt. Wear a helmet). The post emphasized the importance of helmet usage while riding, stating, “Sabko helmet pehnate hain Delhi Police wale,” which translates to “Delhi Police makes everyone wear helmets.”

Ganji Chudail, a quirky character based on an evil bald witch, originated from the YouTube channel Majedar Kahani, which creates animated stories for children. The character quickly gained traction as a popular internet meme, resonating with audiences due to its bizarre and relatable antics. This meme’s appeal has even attracted the attention of major brands like Netflix, Swiggy, and Nykaa, which have incorporated the character into their advertising campaigns. Recently, the creators of the horror-comedy film Stree 2 utilized Ganji Chudail to promote their movie.
The Delhi Police’s clever use of this meme was met with delight from social media users, who appreciated the relatable approach to a serious message. Many commented on the post, praising the creativity behind the initiative.
“Ganji chudail is not so ganji (bald) anymore,” quipped one user. Another chimed in, suggesting that the Delhi Police should rename themselves the “meme police” for their “epic” content. One enthusiastic follower declared, “Delhi police dil ki police,” while another remarked, “Delhi police is on a roll.”
With this innovative and humorous approach, the Delhi Police continue to capture the public’s attention while promoting essential safety practices.
