UP's Anti-Romeo squads have become a nuisance Empty UP's Anti-Romeo squads have become a nuisance

March 26th was the first Sunday after the Uttar Pradesh government set its anti-Romeo squad on the prowl, and the mood in Ghaziabad’s biggest public park was gloomy. “Between 300 and 400 couples visit the park every day, but since 21 March, only 5 or 10 have showed up,” said Atul Kumar, the ticket seller at the entrance of Swarna Jayanti park. What happened on 21 March? A contingent of Ghaziabad’s anti-Romeo squad raided the park and picked up nine young men who looked like “Romeos” to them.

Kumar doesn’t think the young men were up to any mischief. “They were with friends. They had come to study, roam, party; they weren’t disturbing anyone. Shouldn’t the police go after men who have harassed someone? One of them was studying with a group of young women who kept saying to the police that he was with them, but he was dragged anyway.”
