40 Mumbai Couples Were Raided In Private Hotel Rooms For ‘Public Indecency’

Admin
“Privacy and acceptance for young love is a multifaceted issue that has a far-reaching impact on the construct of social relationships, sexual intimacy, and basic human connections.”
“I am literally contemplating ending my life because of 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,”
“the police made our parents feel as if their children had committed some heinous crime.”
“I definitely don’t enjoy the sketchy looks every hotel owner invariably gives me. It makes me feel like a prostitute just for wanting to be alone with someone i’m in love with,”
“Making love to the person of my choice in a private room doesn’t amount to indecent behaviour in public. You can’t just harass us because a DCP orders a raid.”
