Once again the Mumbai Police has done something which proves their inefficiency and irresponsible behavior towards their job and the public. They raided hotels in Aksa and Madh Island and arrested 40 couples under the charge of ‘indecent behavior in public’. However, some of these couples were engaged, they have submitted their correct ID proofs and were in closed private rooms, no logical or valid reason is coming up on the basis of which the Malwani Police had picked up these 40 couples.
A girl of 19 who was picked up by Police told Mid-Day, “I am literally contemplating ending my life because of the trauma and the stigma from the raid. I haven’t been able to step out of the house and my parents have also not spoken a single word to me since this morning.”
They were asked to call their parents, disgraced and one of them was even slapped by a lady constable, the victim told, “I am not a prostitute. I am an adult who was out with my fiancé, who I am supposed to marry next month, to find some privacy. I had entered my name in the hotel register with my identity proof and also handed over the relevant documents when asked by the cops. But, when I tried to tell a female constable all of this, she slapped me.”
These couples were set free after 5 hours of humiliation after paying a fine of Rs. 1200, Senior Inspector Milind Khetale confirmed that raid was conducted by DCP Vikram Deshpande.
The saddest part is, when the Malwani Police was humiliating these couples, a woman was getting robbed at knife point, that too in front of the Police Station on the other side.
Twitter also made fun of this act of Mumbai police in this way:
