Delhi Police has drawn inspiration from the infamous meme of "Ganji Chudail" (loosely translated to bald witch) to deliver a quirky yet impactful public message. The official handle of Delhi Police shared a post on microblogging site X (formerly known as Twitter) using the animated fictional character that became famous through a popular YouTube channel Majedar Kahani.
Known for their witty social media campaigns, the police force is using this popular meme to grab attention and spread awareness. The post has an image showing ganji chudail' wearing a helmet. It reads "Sabko helmet pehnate hain Delhi Police wale" which translates to Delhi Police makes everyone wear helmets. The post is captioned "Ganji Chudail: Mujhse nahi, chot se daro! Helmet pehno!" that translates to "Bald Witch: Be afraid of getting hurt, not me! Wear a helmet!"


The post, also shared on Instagram gained users attention. Commenting on the post, a suer replied “Ganji chudail is not so ganji (bald) anymore". Another user said "Delhi police is on a roll,". “Delhi police page❌ Meme page✅,” commented a third. A fourth user said “Ganji chudail is the new face of delhi police”.

Created by Majedar Kahani – a popular YouTube channel, the Chudail is an animated character. The back story goes like this – Hema was known for her beautiful hair, which made others envious. However, when a new couple, Malini and Ganesh, moved into the village, Hema discovered that Malini's hair was even more stunning. Upset by the comparison, Hema confided in her husband, Birju, who decided to take drastic action. He snuck into Malini's house while she slept and cut off all her hair, leaving her bald. Devastated by the loss, Malini couldn't bear it and died, returning as a vengeful spirit—thus the "Ganji Chudail" was born, seeking revenge for what was done to her.
Ganji chudail quickly rose to fame with brands like Swiggy, Netflix as well as makers of movie ‘Stree 2’ used the meme for promotions.
