February 22, 2017 16:25

After facing backlash on Twitter for a tweet that poked fun at a policeman deployed on the day of BMC polls, columnist Shobhaa De on Wednesday tried a peace-offering of sorts, saying she did not mean any harm.

She wrote on Twitter, "Mumbai/Maharashtra Police, pranaam. No offence intended. M.P. police, consult a dietician,if it's an asli ,undoctored image doing the rounds."

Earlier, she had posted an image of a portly policeman captioning it, "Heavy police bandobast in Mumbai today!"

The Mumbai police, in a clever retort, had told her off saying better things were expected from responsible citizens like her.
