Ahmedabad: After the Meerut Police carried out Operation Majnu to crack-down on pesky eveteasers, it was the VHP's turn to moral police the society.
VHP and Bajrang Dal activists misbehaved with young couples and beat up boys in a park in Ahmedabad.
The party workers alleged that some boys were "harassing girls" and thus they decided to teach them a lesson.
Among the VHP workers were some girls as well. The workers were armed with hockey sticks and lathis and thrashed the young men.
The girls said that they wanted to weed the society of men who used girls for their own means.
The Ahmedabad police were nowhere to be seen and the VHP activists were law unto themselves for quite some time.
Says a girl who was beaten up, "When I tried to stop them, they hit me four times with stick. I hope no other girl is treated like this."
The man behind the lathicharge is said to be Bajrang Dal activist Babu Bajrangi.
"We have not taken the law into our hands. We just want to teach girls how to live decently," was all Babu Bajrangi had to say.
Bajrangi is accused of one of the deadliest massacres during the 2002 Gujarat riots, the Naroda Patia massacre.
