A policeman after he was fat shamed by writer Shobha De spoke out on Wednesday and said it is not because he overeats, it is because of insulin imbalance in his body. Shobha De posted a picture of Daulatram Jogawat and tweeted ‘heavy police bandobast in Mumbai today’.
According to the report in Hindustan Times, the cop said “It (his weight) is due to my illness that I am so fat, and not due to overeating. I had gall bladder operation in 1993 and I developed insulin imbalance which resulted in my obesity.” He was hurt by De’s comment and said “If madam wants, she can pay for my treatment. Who doesn’t want to be thin?”
Jogawat belongs to Madhya Pradesh police and is currently posted at Neemuch police lines. After Shobha De’s tweet Mumbai police also tweeted:
We love puns too Ms De but this one is totally imisplaced. Uniform/official not ours. We expect better from responsible citizens like you. https://t.co/OcKOoHO5bX
