Quite obviously this was seen as nothing more than just PR service at a time when countless poor migrant workers are walking thousands of kilometres back home.
Twitter being Twitter, made Delhi Police very aware of how they felt about this futile exercise.

Delhi police ka dimag toh sahi hai na yaha desh ki lagi padi hai aur yeh birthday celebration karne mein apni energy waste kar rahe hai

Is this police of national capital of India or they are some drama team? This is an exploitation of power and misuse of resources at this crucial time.

Shameless Delhi police, sucking up to the rich and famous while those who need help are ignored or beaten up! Is this the new job description of Delhi police to become cheer leading squad to the bored elites!

Are these not Indian children too?

Such action towards the rich n famous is a cruel brutal slap on the face of the poor, children walking n dying during the pandemic. INDIAN CHILDREN.
SHAMEFUL. Very, very shameless behavior by Delhi Police.
Warped priorities.
ZERO MORALITY. pic.twitter.com/1WDvUfWawa
Honestly, I’ve got nothing more to add here! Hopefully, Delhi police looks around and sees who actually needs them at this hour.
