Mumbai Police tweets about road safety in the time of Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go has not officially released in India yet, but fans have found a way to access the game and even organise a few Poké walks. Sensing its popularity, Mumbai Police tweeted a message on road safety by referencing the game's format in a GIF.
SEE ALSO:People, please don't hurt yourself playing 'Pokémon Go'"Life is not a game. Especially not one to be played on the roads," the tweet reads. Ironically though, the accompanying GIF shows a policeman doing what he's not supposed to do, i.e. catching a Pokémon.

The list of Pokémon Go accidents across the world has been growing. Last week, an American man crashed into a police vehicle as he got distracted by Pokémon Go while driving, while a university student in Japan fell down the stairs while playing the game. A teenager in Guatemala was even reportedly shot dead when he broke into a home while playing with his cousin.
