Trivandrum, Nov 18 (NDTV): The organiser of Kerala's Kiss of Love protest, Rahul Pashupalan, his wife and seven others have been arrested in a case involving sex racket. Six others have been arrested for operating a website on child pornography, said police sources.
The controversial "Kiss of Love" campaign took place earlier this year to protest against alleged incidents of moral policing in the state.
A group of Facebook users had come up with the idea after Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha volunteers allegedly vandalized a hotel in Kozhikode, alleging that immoral activities were going on there.
Couples were asked to gather on Valentine's Day to give public displays of affection.
But the police cracked down on the campaign, taking protesters into preventive custody to maintain law and order.
