Ranchi: Bajrang Dal
activists in Jharkhand played the moral police on Valentine's Day
Monday, forcing lovers in parks and other public place to either
tie a rakhi or get married on the spot.
Hundreds of Bajrang Dal activists reached Jubilee Park in the
steel city of Jamshedpur and caught lovers. The activists first
asked the couples their relation with each other. If a couple said
they were in love, they were forced to marry by exchanging
garlands.
If a couple said they were just brother and sister, they were
forced to tie a rakhi.
In all this, police remained mute spectators. In Ranchi too,
activists of the Shiv Sena raided parks and harassed lovers. There
were also a few cases of couples being forced to tie the rakhi in
Ranchi.
"Love is a pious thing which cannot be exposed in parks and in
public places," said a Shiv Sena worker in Ranchi.
