New Delhi: The city police have said they are well-prepared to preempt bids by self-proclaimed moral police to disrupt peace and property on Valentine’s day as they’ve often done in the past.
The terror brigade has already been up to its antics in Bhopal, where the leader of the pack — the Bajrang Dal — took out a rally last week with ‘knives and sticks’ to warn couples against celebrating Valentine’s day.

The Delhi Police has stepped up vigil at spaces that have been easy targets for miscreants in the past.
Twenty-four companies of paramilitary forces have been deployed to check anti-social elements from creating a nuisance of themselves in the city. College campuses will also be under heightened security, the police said.
Spokesperson for the Delhi Police, Rajan Bhagat, has said that enough measures have been taken to ensure that people feel safe and that “no individual or group of persons can be allowed to disturb peace or harass people in the name of moral policing,” The Times of India reported.
