Jalandhar, Mar 10: Days after they fled their home in Bihar and set a lover’s nest in the Dhobi Mohalla here, a man and wife, both minors, became victims of moral policing when their neighbours assaulted them and blackened their faces before parading them in the locality on Sunday night.
Police conducted raids on Monday, after Ram Parvesh, the victim, lodged a complaint. “We have booked four persons for inflicting atrocities on the couple and humiliating them,” an officer said. The neighbours, he added, had apparently objected to the duo’s living together as a married couple and wanted them out of the locality “for their immoral ways” and for “their bad influence on youngsters”.
