Police taking action against indecent behaviour

The police in Nagpur have started cracking down on couples in public parks by kicking them as an ongoing campaign against indecent behaviour.

The police have rounded up 54 couples so far on accusations of behaving indecently in public places, an agency reported.

“There’s no restriction on visiting or sitting in the garden in a proper way but if someone is found sitting on someone’s lap, we will take action,” Additional police Commissioner Bhushan Upadhyaya said.

Officers will pay surprise visits two to three times a week to parks to ensure proper behavior by young couples, Upadhyaya said.

A similar campaign earlier this year in the northern city of Meerut led to protests after overzealous police beat up teenaged girls and shaved the heads of their suitors.

Editor’s Note:- Friends what do you think of this cultural policing against so called indecent behaviour. Have you ever been roughed up by the police for coochie-cooing in a public place? And also share about love spots in your city where nobody bothers you. I am sure fellow readers would love to know about such places!

    the police should be thrashed.
    they simply cnnot take law in their hand.
    if a couple is sitting in park and cuddling each other and police hits them -i think they would feel humiliated as a result they could revolt back-police wala may get beaten up by any angry youth.
    THIS ACT SHOULD BE SHUNNED. if police can do dada giri so can a common man-

    I strongly support such actions by police, simply because this is not moral pilicing. this is what is spoiling the new generation, no matter what youths will say, but we all know what happens between a couple sitting in dark corners, exposing their dark desires. Its all not only immoral but also bad for individuals and about character of people involved. Well done Napur police, no matter what immature and inexperienced people might argue. This is an absolutely essential activity.

    I’d say our society is giving importance to unnecessary things, this should be a free country. Instead of cracking down harmless couples, I’m there are heaps of other issues that need to be attended by the police eg. police having a bath atleast once in a month or something. that would keep them clean.

    i think these police walas ..should be beaten till death ….this gunda gardi should be stopped. cant they let us live in a peace ..this is a democratic country and we are free to do any thing. I think everyone in this country is aware of his/ her limits and if anything is in the limit, police has no rights to do anything. wat u recon ?.. are these thullas that free that they visit parks for 3 times a day ..who knows wether itz for stopping all this or to satisfy their desires. nywaz from next if you guys ever plan to visit gardens ..plzz carry gun with you ..nd do shoot these fuckin assholes…

    The police should be encouraged to take action against couples behaving badly. Its not considered moral policing…..!!!! But I do object to the shaving of the head and kicking. Some of you guys seem to hate the police for taking action against such couples. People who encourage such indecent behaviour are usually sick weirdos (peeping toms)…..Why cant people just do these things in their home? Do famalies really want to see people touching each other in a public place? NO!!! If this behaviour is encouraged then soon people will be having sex behind the trees! Couples in love do crazy things, and this attracts unwanted attention esp for the girl. BE RESPONSIBLE !!!

    we indians r the biggest hypocrites in the world. in our country PEOPLE RAPE BABIES (I READ ABT IT LAST WEEK), FEMALE FOETICIDE IS RAMPANT, SATI STILL HAPPENS ETC, and such people are let off but if a couple sits in a park and kisses it becomes a huge “immoral” issue. we r so proud of our so called “indian culture” and THINK THAT the Americans dont have morals and we r very pure etc.
    but the reality is that more than 5 LAKH people sleep on the streets of bombay every night, more than 60 LAKH children suffer malnutrition and die every year.

    OUR POLITICIANS cannot solve these problems . DANCE bars are closed for protecting morality in bombay, but 5000 tribal children dying in rural maharastra is no big deal. THE POLITICIANS KNOW THAT INDIANS LACK EVEN A BASIC AMOUNT OF MATURITY REGARDING SEX AND THUS DIVERT THE ATTENTION OF PEOPLE FROM REAL PROBLEMS AFFECTING THE NATION.

    NAGPUR POLICE CANNOT CATCH RAPISTS, MURDERERS ETC AND SO TO FOOL THE PUBLIC THAT THEY R ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING WORTHWHILE THEY HARASS INNOCENT COUPLES.

    The mutual attraction between humans is the root cause. Think it over, If people were not attracted, they would not go to parks, So police would not arrest people.
    Without mutual attraction, people cannot make children. which means no tension of taking them to park.

    No attraction-> no relationship-> no police interference -> no problems in the parks -> All problems solved.

    SO GUYS, CHAPS, DUDES, DUDETTES. Grow up and think intelligently and solve problems. he he he LOL :-)

    Sunil Kumar and Friend are advised to immediately quit this country and move to Saudi Arabia. They will find the system there much to their liking. NOONE has any right to force their idea of good behaviour onto others in a FREE society. The police has no business intruding on censentual behavior.
    Sunil Kumar and Friend, what the FUCK are you doing on this website anyway? This is a immoral website and you should be arrested for browsing it. Filthy, petty, hypocritical bastards that you are.

    tell me one action against police or media who show indecency at your OWN HOUSE! forget parks where you guys say we cant walk in parks with kids!
    Tell me one soaps you dont watch which has masala with sex and u guys get glued like horny assholes!
    Why dont u ask the police or the media to stop this first! the young generations learn this from movies or TV! So do the basics first! stop read ing the supplemtary news paper you get every morning with sleazy pics. Have you asked Times of Indiaa to stop printing those sleazy pics? Havae you asked ekta kapoor to stop promoting the extra marital life sops? NO! cos u horny assholes including me love it!
    The stop giving this shit abt kids! lets talk what we grown ups have done at our level and then talk abt the young generation! …
    wonder y the elders pass the horny buck to youngsters when the 60 year old loves to watch a sleaazy pic of the newspaper early mornin!!!!

    Police in India should focus on catching the ISI and SIMI agents spread in India.Instead they are busy giving surprise checks in gardens.I had bad experience with cops when i was in park with my GF.They do this only for money(Bribe) because they know most of the Girls are afraid of their parents.Its all done for MONEY! Ass holes.

    This is happening quite frequently in Bangalore as well. I was sitting in Lal Bagh with my hand of my fiance’s shoulders the park men (so called watchmen) said to take the hand out. It more look like they are only jealous as they do not have the same opportunity.

    Hey !! You have good and bad about this issue… The police should not act as THEY HV EVERY RIGHT TO HIT PPL.. but in case if the couples go beyond the limits.. its really un comfortable for other public.. and hence police could handle it in better fashion by advising and making couples not to do wrong things..

    If they repeat it the same way as in merut they [police] should be taught a lesson… and who stops there wrong doing such as rapings in station?

    Friend, Sunil Kumar - ever heard about free will, freedom, open mind etc? any of these words ring a bell. If you guys or police thinks its indecent, make a law, let government make a law. Police cannot simply take law into their hand.

    Anyways if u guys have problem with people kissing in park then dont go to a park. U cant control others. If socity was a bit more open then people wont have to search for place to take there girlf friend.

    Finally, police has no right to act like this, and they should be charged if they do.

    I really think that the police shld stop doing all this crap. this is a democratic country and i persnly feel that couples can get close in public….C’mon they are jus gownna hug or kiss…they aint having sex in public. it shldnt be bothering the other people around and also the police. Leave the love birds….let them live and enjoy. where wld they go to get close? they cant do that at their homes….and even those police walas or people who are against this “public affection” wld have at their time indulged in the same. So i jus make a hubble request that these couples or love bird shld be left alone…

    i can relate to the harrased couples. i’ve been harrased by the police also. but we must draw a clear line between normal and indecent behaviour. A smart policeman wud have gone to the couple and said “Sir,can u please tone down wat u r doing.”… but only if they are really doing something obscene!

    So first of all lets just get one thing straight. police shud NEVER abuse people! second , peole who keep saying “we live in the 21st century” crap shud know that u people r only speaking 4 urselves. the 21st century is about learning from the past mistakes.

    i dont want to go to a park with my gf and be attacked by the police. but at the same time i also dont want to disrespect the famalies around me . and to vg i say, you hve no right to tell people “if u dont like it then dont come to the park”….wat if i told u that “if u dont want to behave properly in public then U dont come to the park”….

    free will does not entitle people to do whatever they want. if thats the case then the police wud b right in harrasing the couples.

    its not that i am completely against such behaviour. cuddling isnt wrong , its when u go beyond this you shud atleast be warned. lovers shud not be harrased by society but at the same time society shud not be harrased by lovers !!!!!!

    i have just one simple line to say this kind of behaviour is fair enough, when we talk about society, when we talk about culture, why is india having highest aids and rape rate, i am from usa, and people do it here all the time everywere, only because its free culture, and so called they have this rapes and aids list going down here, its persons own life he should be strongly allowed to do what he want, he can kiss his girlfriend, but not do something unacceptable, but kissing and sititng cozyly should be fine to me, and only because of this things our india has no place in world market.
    i strongly disagree with police behaviour

Cops in INDIA have the lowest morale than even the goons. these are somma bitch who are well protected to do any shitty job to make a common mans life more harder. Has any of the assholes who supported the cops ever encourted with them. They shit on you and make you shit. they trouble you and fix you to earn some extra buck. fuck if they have ever cared about morale.

    Way to go Najab. Thats exactly wats goin on here. People are so fuckin hipocrit’s that they don’t even notice it. U’d think that baby’s being killed cuz she happen’s to b a girl or little children begging on the streets rather than being in school should be the main concern but nooooooooo. This is a free country and the also rumoured to be the most democratic country in the world . . . (like that’s fuckin rite) the couples are mature enough to think wat or wat not they are allowed to do in public. Of course if they fuckin in the entire publics view then they should be slapped on their heads n be told to go home. But just if you happen to hug ur loved one or just kiss them it should NOT be taken as a perverted sense but rather it should be viewed as a loving happy couple. People in india have the most perverted minds and that i think goes without saying.

    Oh please… Don’t you know that we live in the Islamic Republic of India.

    How else do you expect the police to behave in this country.

    In fact, after a while they will make it a law that women cannot come out on to the roads, as they will make the guys (especially the grand dads) too excited. How on earth does anyone expect that Indian police will behave otherwise.

    We are a frustrated lot, defeated lot, accept it and just move on elsewhere.

    Nothing wrong if a couple is sitting in park and cuddling each other. Who is police to determine what is wrong and what is right on their own? why are police taking bribes in open daylight? why are they not stopping cuddling in TV serials and remix/POP songs?

    I also want to start argument on one topic……… these fuckin 60 year old cmmisioner and polititians ……. what right do they have to make laws for 20 year generation…….. bloody 40 year difference……..how can they think ……..One more thing…….. when this commisioner was young and was going for honeymoon……why did he went to honeymoon…..as 40 years back even honey moon was considered immoral (in our so called INDIAN CULTURE) cause honeymoon clearly means a trip to someother place for having SEX………. very soon they will bann it also……

    HE said ““There’s no restriction on visiting or sitting in the garden in a proper way but if someone is found sitting on someone’s lap, we will take action,” Additional police Commissioner Bhushan Upadhyaya said.” …………….. so sitting in lap is obscenity….lol hahahha ha ah a is country ka kuch nahin ho sakta ….atleast jab tak bloody buddhe jinda hain

    They just let us off with a warning to me…. No bribe no man handling nothing.

    And you know what? It worked, I never made out there again….. And the police got my respect!

    Sex is a beautiful subject. It takes lot of nerves and senses to be in love. To know how to love - the best way is to experience it. One side it should be exhibited with due respect to it on the other side it should not and cannot be restricted by anybody. What can the police do on the paintings at Ajanta and Ellora which portrays diffirent postures of love and kamasutra. If they treat that has heritage and respect it. Why not they respect true love and sex?? Police in INDIA will do anything for money. They will promote prostitution one side and they will control prostitution other side. There is no sancicity on what they do (atleast in INDIA). How can public rely on such people for better discipline when they themselves have a few indiscplined lot???
