Alleged 'Moral Policing' Arrest Sparks Debate

A 24-year-old driver was taken into custody for allegedly harassing an IT worker and his female colleague on NTR Marg, sparking discussions about 'moral policing'. The video he recorded without their consent gained widespread attention after being shared on social media.

The incident involved abusive language and threats, with the driver questioning the woman's choice of company due to religious differences. Police stated that these acts threaten to incite communal tension. The accused's actions have been condemned as an invasion of privacy and an attempt to promote divisive narratives.

Authorities are focusing their investigation on identifying those who manage and promote the dissemination of such content on social media. Police have emphasized the illegality of acts of moral policing, reassuring that strict action will be taken against offenders without regard to their identity or affiliations.
