First, we need the entire riddle.

Four teachers were walking. One is an English teacher, one is a Hindi teacher, one is a Malayalam teacher, and one was a math teacher. They all suddenly saw a thief. The English teacher shouted "thief.. thief." The hindi teacher shouted "chor.. chor" (chor in hindi means 'thief'). The Malayalam teacher shouted "kalan.. kalan" (kallan in malayalam means 'thief'). What will the maths teacher say or shout?

The math teacher would call the thief 420 420.

This joke is significant in India due to their laws and pop culture.

420 is the slang name given to petty thieves, tricksters, or frauds in the Indian subcontinent. This comes from Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with cheating related crimes. It is referenced in the title of the Bollywood movie "Shree 420."
