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.

"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 tweet is part of the police's road safety campaign, and officials have said that players should choose safer areas away from traffic.

Twitter reactions ranges from amusement to support.

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.
