None of other states has done something similar,” he told Press Trust of India. The first question posted on Twitter by the state police’s handle @PoliceRajasthan was:

The first question elicited 84 response. While many of the respondents limited their answers to just pointing out the right option, some lauded the ‘KBC’ initiative. “What a unique way to spread awareness,” responded Rahul Jain, who uses the Twitter handle @rahuljain_ips, and whose profile describes him as an IPS officer. Among other topics, the state police has asked questions on moving property dishonestly out of possession of any person without that person’s consent, stalking, begging and hawking in or around any tourist area. “Anyone following the Rajasthan Police on Facebook and Twitter can answer simple questions. It is an attempt by the police to educate, inform and sensitise people about crime and laws,” said ADG (CB and CID) Pankaj Kumar Singh, who has taken the initiative. He said that though there is no prize money for those giving the correct answer, a proposal can be floated considering people’s response.
