Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar equipped the Mumbai Police with health-tracking devices which will help them deal better with the COVID-19 situation, Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray has said.

Thackeray added that he discussed about giving some of these trackers to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
He tweeted a picture of the actor handing over the trackers to Mumbai police commissioner Parambir Singh.
