Even by Mumbai’s unfazed-by-anything yardstick, this one has certainly shocked Mumbaikars. Yesterday, this paper reported how Andheri West seemed to be awash with posters advertising the services of a self-proclaimed toy boy. The posters say it straight—that this is a sex service, display a mobile number and also promise fun and an escape from boredom. Even the service charge, beginning from Rs 999, is mentioned.

The report on our front page cited how a young man opened up about the service he was offering and decision to put up posters in Andheri since he thought that was a plush area.
