The cartoon secretly reveals a paradox: the biggest threat to public safety isn’t crime—but public confusion created by misinformation, superstition, and panic.
Criminals look fewer and weaker compared to the crowds of confused citizens—suggesting that police today are fighting psychology more than criminals.

A new police cartoon meant for public awareness quietly exposes something far more dangerous than criminals. What threatens citizens today isn’t what you think.

A seemingly harmless, colourful cartoon released as part of the “Cartoonu Habba” by Bengaluru police has unexpectedly triggered a wave of heated discussion. What looks like humorous art is actually a brutally honest mirror reflecting today’s India—and for many people, the real shock is that criminals occupy the least dangerous space in the frame.
On the left, dangerous-looking criminals and supernatural threats sit isolated on rocky islands—as if india has already learned how to contain them. But below them, thousands of ordinary citizens are shown panicking, gossiping, arguing, spreading rumours, shouting into crowds, fighting imaginary fears, and demanding answers they don’t understand. It’s chaos—not created by criminals, but by people.
And standing between this chaos and the ordinary family on the right is a single police officer, drawn like a superhero, cape stretched and baton extended, leaping across the scene.
The message? The modern policeman is not chasing villains anymore—he is firefighting public confusion.
For many social observers, this is not a cartoon. It is a slap.
A reminder that today, crime is not always the biggest threat—viral misinformation is.
Fear spreads faster than a thief can run.
WhatsApp forwards can destroy peace faster than a gangster can.
This cartoon, without uttering a single sentence, calls out an uncomfortable truth:
Police in india have become emotional managers, rumour controllers, counsellors, mental health supporters, crisis negotiators—everything except the conventional image of a “crime fighter.”
The depiction of women confused by documents, students unsure of procedures, and everyday citizens floating between rumours and half-believed myths is painfully real. The police officer isn’t stopping criminals—he’s stopping panic.
The emotional punch?
We are the ones exhausting our own police force.
Not criminals.
Not terror.
But our own inability to filter facts from fiction.
The cartoon is funny only for a second.
Then it becomes disturbing.
Because it hints that India’s biggest policing crisis isn’t crime—it’s the crumbling public understanding of truth.
This is why the cartoon has gone viral.
Not for its humour.
But because it quietly says the loudest, most controversial thing of 2025:
“India doesn’t need more police for crime.
India needs more clarity for its people.”
