Kochi: The Kochi unit of Shiv Sena, in an apparent act of moral policing, chased away young couples who were hanging out on the Marine Drive while the police simply stood and watched.
The Shiv Sena activists reached the Marine Drive holding banners and raising slogans and claimed that their intention was to prevent sexual harassment. They were heard calling the couples ‘Poda’ and ‘Podi’ while an activist chased them away with a stick.
Some witnesses claimed that residents of the nearby apartments clapped and lauded the Shiv Sena.
