COVID-19 cases are on a rise in Maharashtra after a month of decreased cases. That has prompted Mumbai Police to use their active Twitter handle to ask netizens to wash their hands proactively. They obviously use a Bollywood reference to get the point across. This time it's a scene from Agneepath which has Rohini Hattangadi who played Amitabh Bachchan's mother, berates him for washing hands. It obviously is a hint from his mother about the sins he committed which can never be washed away with soap. But Mumbai Police uses it to say 'Kabhi Maa se pucha hai woh kya chahti hai.'
