Jaipur traffic police’s advertisement can now be found on billboards in Faislabad as the Punjab traffic police copied the comedic idea.
As reported by Pakistan Today on 21st June, Jaipur traffic police ran an advertisement pointing towards Jasprit Bumrah’s no-ball against Fakhar Zaman. The tweet was later deleted after criticism from Bumrah on twitter, followed by an apology.

The bowler might not have been amused but the public thoroughly enjoyed the advertisement.Using a bitter defeat from the hands of Pakistan, the advertisement preached road awareness in a very positive manner. A great number of people loved the light hearted comedy in the wake of such an ego shattering defeat.

Soon after the Faislabadi traffic police decided to use the exact same advertisement.
People were quick to make the comparison.
I think Jaipur Traffic Police and Faisalabad Traffic Police hired the same advertising agency. ?#Bumrah pic.twitter.com/VvmUm9SYuI

As noble as the message is, plagiarism is highly frowned upon especially considering how creative they get whilst wishing their wardens on facebook.
