Forcing Men to Squat and Shaving Off their Hair –This is how the ‘Anti-Romeo’ Squad of UP Works


The world is full of people and people have opinions. While many of us are all praise for UP’s new Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, many of us are critical of his strong decision making. Last week came another powerful decision by the government of setting an "Anti-Romeo squad" (a team of about 30 police officers) in the interest of safeguarding women. But guess things didn’t turn out well when the squad shaved the head of a guy in the presence of policemen who had caught him with a female friend in a public park in Shahjahanpur.




What’s worse is that this incident occurred in the presence of police officers. Prima facie say that the three constables namely Suhail Ahmed, Laiek Ahmed and Sonu Pal were being mute spectators and did nothing to stop the officers of the squad to stop shaving the head of the victim.  

This does not end here – some men were even made to sqat in public and some were questioned why they are roaming in public with a female friend. Now the question that looms large in our face is – does the UP government went too far by moral policing? Or this crackdown on roadside romeos is just the need of the hour to protect women?  Well, as they say, with great power comes great responsibility, and the newly elected government must ensure that the officers don’t harass the couples and target only the eve-teasers.


What’s your take on it? We would love to read your suggestions in the comments below.

Finding God

I have traveled through the city, Halfway and through; Praised the music, liked a places few. I enjoyed the weather, hated it too, Relived certain memories, cursed one or two. I did search for peace, searched for love, I searched for God, but it was tough. He hides, and I seek, He whispers and I shriek; He goes and I follow, He smiles when I’m hollow; He runs and I chase, As if an eternal race… I have NEVER got his way, neither yester nor today! So let’s do one thing now, I know not how true, You be my God for me, And I will be for you…

Beyond The Earth...

It's a story of two souls, knitted in love, Together they formed a life, higher and above. One winter morning, while singing love songs, They renounced worldly pleasures, and became love monks. And there wasn't anyone around, only she and only him, They hugged each other, and the lights were dim. Walking in the morning fog, they went beyond the sky, Hands in hands, they bid the world good-bye. So deep was the love, the passion so high, They were beyond any pain, and could heard no cry. And there wasn't anyone around, only she and only him, They hugged each other, and the lights were dim. Alone, aloof, united in love, When they found a world, in the world above, The Cupids danced, the Fairies smiled, The sky glittered, and the world seemed bright. Next moment they were in mountains, covered with clouds and snow, Her gown slipped her shoulder each time the wind blow. And there wasn't anyone around, only she and only him, They hugged each other, and the lights were dim. Th...

Sometimes in Life...

Sometimes I feel low, Sometimes I feel high. Sometimes the happiness is truth, and sometimes it is a lie. Sometimes I feel loved, sometimes I'm alone, Sometimes who hurts is a stranger, and sometimes it is a known. Sometimes the people are cheerful; sometimes the world is chaos, Sometimes they do care, and sometimes they lay-off. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it gets Okay, Sometimes I hide, and sometimes I convey. Sometimes I feel high, sometimes I feel low, These 'Sometimes' have passed, just a moment ago...
