Mumbai, August 13: Mumbai Police Commissioner Subodh Jaiswal made a faux pas on Twitter on Sunday when he tweeted a photograph of a foreign city calling it Mumbai. Jaiswal was in for embarrassment when many pointed out the same and asked him to tweet the correct picture.
"Number one Mumbai. Number one Mumbaikars. Let’s keep Mumbai ahead of all. Always," the Police Commissioner wrote in his tweet with a picture of night aerial view of city. The tweet came as Navi Mumbai and Greater Mumbai ranked second and third in the livability index released by the ministry of urban affairs.

On doing a thorough search on the Internet, we found that the image was not of Mumbai, but of Busan in South Korea.
One of the users on Twitter wrote, "Sir please at least verify the photograph!! It's of Busan South Korea and not of Mumbai."
One prominent thing that a Mumbaikar would quickly notice is the Sea Link in the image tweeted by Jaiswal has two successive wired bridges of the same size, whereas the Bandra Worli Sea Link in Mumbai has one big and two small wired triangular bridges at a distance.
