Spelling an end to moral policing, top cops have decided to no longer use the draconian Section 110 under the Bombay Police Act. This is not just a massive relief for couples in the city, who have often been targeted with this dreaded law, but also a victory for people power.
In the past, the police have been known to charge citizens for public indecency under this section for as little as hugging in public. But recent acts of such moral policing met with severe backlash from citizens.
