'After I Love You...': UP Police's Saiyaara-Style Warning Wins The Internet
The Uttar Pradesh Police has taken an innovative approach to cybercrime awareness by using the popular film Saiyaara to educate the public. Their witty and relatable post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is attracting widespread attention and has already garnered over 160,000 views in just 12 hours, with a flood of comments from amused and appreciative users.
In their viral post, UP Police warns the public not to fall for online romance scams. The caption reads: ' Saiyaara se scam na ho jaaye yaara. Dil do, OTP nahin".
They cheekily reference the emotional reactions of cinema-goers to the film Saiyaara, contrasting them with the real shock of being conned online. The message is clear: 'After 'I love you', if you hear 'send OTP', your account balance might vanish".
The post warns users to be vigilant about online connections, hinting that your digital 'Saiyaara' could be a fraudster. They drive home the point with humour stating: 'Give your heart, not your OTP".
'सैयारा' से 'स्कैम ना हो जाये यारा''सैयारा' देखकर लोग सिनेमाघरों में बेहोश हो रहे हैं…लेकिन असली बेहोशी तब होगी,जब 'I love you' के बाद 'OTP भेजो प्लीज़' आएगा —और अकाउंट का बैलेंस ₹0 दिखाएगा।
❤️ दिल दें, OTP नहीं। #SaiyaaraSeSavdhaan #CyberSafeRaho #ThinkBeforeYouClick …

Hero Ex-Marine Stops Walmart Stabber, Holds Attacker At Gunpoint Until Police Arrive
Last Updated: The attacker, identified as 42-year-old Bradford James Gille, reportedly launched his rampage near the checkout counters before attempting to flee. A brutal stabbing at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, left 11 people injured on Sunday, but a much larger tragedy was averted thanks to the courage of two bystanders. Leading the charge was former Marine Derrick Perry, now hailed as a hero across social media. Verified video shows the suspect cornered in the store's parking lot, motionless as Perry kept him pinned at gunpoint until police moved in. While authorities have yet to officially confirm his identity, locals and family members have proudly named Perry online, praising his bravery. One post read, 'This is Derrick Perry! He risked his life to save many." His daughter-in-law added, 'So proud. He protected so many." The attacker, identified as 42-year-old Bradford James Gille, reportedly launched his rampage near the checkout counters before attempting to flee. That's when two veterans — Perry and fellow former Marine Matt Kolakowski — intervened. Kolakowski, unarmed, rammed the assailant with a shopping cart, knocking him down. Perry then drew his licensed firearm, holding the suspect at bay until other civilians helped subdue him and officers took over. All 11 victims were rushed to Munson Medical Centre, where three required surgery. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 07:21 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
