All along the Bombay roadlines, I see this poster(and its equivalent in Hindi/Marathi), issued by Mumbai police :
BEWARE OF DUPLICATE POLICEMAN
Now I find the use of “duplicate” very uniquely Indian in this case. I would think “duplicate” means “making a copy by design” versus fake would mean “making a copy by rouge”.
This poster would make a lot of sense, if Mumbai police were itself making copies of policemen, and spreading them around to test its citizen, like some of first person action game.
