Many parents are hiring detectives to ensure their children do not flirt beyond a point during Dandiya, which has acquired notoriety for reports of unwanted pregnancies happening in the nine music- and dance-filled nights. Dandiya, a part of the Navratri festival, begins today.
Detective agencies are charging Rs 2,500-15,000 for a night. Topping the worry list are parents of young girls. “They want to know who their girl is with, whether she is having sex,” said Rahul Nanda, CMD of Tops Security. Tops charges up to Rs 15,000 for an evening. Parents are given a daily report and photographs.
But sex is not the only worry. “Youngsters get drunk and take drugs too,” said D Kumar, managing director of Andheri-based Secret Eye Detective Services Pvt Ltd. This Navratri, Kumar already has nine cases.
To avoid suspicion, the detectives even play Dandiya. If the youngster disappears, they contact teammates and follow.

i think the parents should give permission to the detectives to only watch them but also stop them to take the wrong steps

It's good to see that the parents are hiring detectives to keep a watch on the activities of their girl child. However, the girl would be aware of the fact. If they intend to indulge in sex then I don't think the detectives can stop them. There is another point to it. How can you be sure that the detectives would photograph these girls in situations without their knowledge and then use these photographs to black mail them or their parents ?????

Editor's Reply: Hi Kulfi, thanks for writing in. It's just that during the Navratri season parents allow their daughters to go out and spend a lot of time outside and hence they are vulnerable to get hooked...and there is a lot of blind dating going on.
