"Adequate police presence will be witnessed on city roads on the Valentine's day. Everybody has the right to freedom of expression and whoever takes the law in their hands will be dealt strictly," City Commissioner of police Hasan Gafoor said.

"Those who want to protest against anything can express themselves in a peaceful manner," Gafoor said.

The security has been tightened in the wake of protest called by Shiv Sena and other organisations during the celebrations.
