Lucknow lovers caught nude in public!(I love how the Hindustan Times has no fear of exclamation points in headlines... we need more of that in this country.) An amorous adventure in the park has ended at the police station for 16 boys and girls from Lucknow. They were arrested for obscenity in a public place, including nudity and petting.
Hazratganj police rounded up the couples from the Nadiya Ke Paar Park and Hazrat Mahal Park that have in recent times become a meeting point for the city's lovers.
While cases were registered against the boys, the girls were let off after senior police officers, including Lucknow's Senior Superintendent of Police Navneet Sikeria, intervened.
But the arrests have not been without controversy. Eyewitnesses claim the raiding party demanded money from the lovers and beat them up when they refused. Even the girls, who were begging to be let off, were manhandled.
