[janon]

14 thousand post and you still feel the need to troll?

How else do you thin he has those 14k posts? And how else can he reach 15k, other than by doing what he does?

I was not trolling, I gave up trolling long time back

I think he quoted you by mistae, he was probably responding to batman.

What is new about this? In Hyderabad this is actually very common(for decades) - especially in the Old Hyderabad areas. Difference is now there is a growing sense of acceptance among the population in Old Hyd.

Umm...I did not say that. And since the bolded part is wrong, since romancing is not a crime, the policeman had no business apprehending them or maing them do situps.

in a public place even romance of a husband and wife is an offence under ipc section 294.everything has limitations and exceptions including freedom and privacy.

in a public place even romance of a husband and wife is an offence under ipc section 294.everything has limitations and exceptions including freedom and privacy.

Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860

294. 4[ Obscene acts and songs.-- Whoever, to the annoyance of others,
(a) does any obscene act in any public place, or
(b) sings, recites or utters any obscene song, ballad or words, in or near any public place, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both.]

Romance is not an obscene act, nor is it an annoyance to others. That law is to protect people from unwanted and intrusive actions of others, like whispering an obscenity or showing a sexually suggestive gesture at a stranger. Not to curb consenting couples being affectionate. That is why the wording 'to the annoyance of others' is present in it.

There is a reason for the existence of the phrase 'batshit insane'.

While against moral policing, I am also against dragging religion into this topic.

@Aeronaut @nuclearpak @Jungibaaz

Please remove 'muslim' from the title, as it is irrelevant to the fact. The cop did not know his duty, but his religion is incidental.



For some people, kissing is dishonorable but killing is honorable. Pathetic mentality.

There is a famous joke in a Tamil film.
You can kiss anywhere in foreign country, but in our country you can piss anywhere..!

we will use them again and again. muft ki rotian nahin tod sakte yahan pe.

 

[Soumitra]

Such things are allowed in congress ruled "secular" states. How else will they show their "secularism" if they don't allow policemen to uphold Islamic Values?

 

[Kaniska]

Do not change the thread title...And again..Cop do are not Hindu or Muslim...They are simply cops only...This is a matter of generation gap.....

Cop made couples in Hyderabad park do sit-ups | NDTV.com

From the link---

A police inspector in Hyderabad has chosen to implement his own brand of moral policing, punishing couples he allegedly caught in a public park by making them do sit-ups in public.

The incident reportedly happened last week in a park near the historic 7 Tombs monument under the Golconda police station limits. Half a dozen couples were punished by the police which made them do sit-ups, while a man in uniform kept count.

The whole episode was video-graphed and put up by a Web-based news magazine as part of a report that praised Inspector Nayeemuddin Javed as a conscientious police officer upholding Islamic values.

In the video, the inspector explains that most of the college going youngsters, whose parents are abroad, leave home wearing jeans and T-shirt. Some of these girls use expensive mobiles, bunk college and go to parks with their boyfriend, he says, adding that there have been cases of young people running away to get married. He offers advise to parents that they must keep a check on their children, and enquire in the college, at least once or twice a month.

Women's groups from the Old City say they are shocked at the audacity of the police officer and, even worse, the silence of his superiors. "This can't be called policing. It is not acceptable. The law does not give the police the right to be moral police. If they find young boys and girls in objectionable situations, they could use maitree police to counsel them. Or if something obscene is happening, they could apply Section 294. There is provision within the law. These ad hoc methods are humiliating and violate rights," says Andhra Pradesh Women's Commission member Sunita Krishnan.

Amjed Ullah Khan, leader of Hyderabad-based Majlis Bachao Tehreek, sees this as an attempt to defame the community. "The girls belonged to the Muslim community. May be they did something wrong, like bunking classes and going to the park. But the way police acted is atrocious. It has created a major controversy among Muslim community and parents" he says.

Activists, however, say it is not about shaming any particular community but moral policing and subversion of the law by a law-enforcing authority. They say if policemen start devising their own law plan and enforcement mechanism, then there is no need for Constitution, Parliament or a legislature to make laws.

Despite the video having sent shock waves, the Hyderabad police so far has chosen not to comment. Senior officers admit the actions of the inspector cannot be justified but they also point out that policing and ensuring safety of women in secluded places remains a challenge. They also say while cases cannot be booked for couples hanging around together, the police becomes answerable when an untoward incident like a rape happens.

A retired DGP, however, says senior police officers need to show the way and guide their juniors on what is acceptable and what is not. "The law-enforcing officer himself cannot either break the law or make the law and justify saying that he is doing it for the larger good. He is not above the law. What is required is training to sensitise the officers," he said.

The police in India have more than enough time and manpower to harass couples, raid hotels and lodges looking for immoral traffic and all other such types of moral policing but when it comes to the actual policing like catching criminals, they complain of lack of manpower.
