GURGAON: On August 27 nearly 50 people were arrested by Police in Gurgaon for passing inappropriate comments on women or misbehaving with them in a special drive called “Majnu Returns”, police said on Saturday. Assistant Commissioner of Police Mr. Dharna Yadav said, the drive was conducted on Mehrauli-Gurgaon (MG) Road from 11 pm on Friday to 1 am by policewomen in plain clothes. The policewomen and other women stationed themselves at 10 points on MG Road, including outside Sahara Mall and Metro stations, and found plenty of men passing inappropriate comments or making inappropriate gestures or misbehaving with them. About 50 such men were rounded up and kept in a “Majnu Room” in Sector 29. Last year more than 250 were arrested by Police in three such drives, the last one being carried out in December. “Majnu”, drawn from the love-pair Laila-Majnu, used to colloquially suggest a love-lorn man. Today, it is used for a man who behaves inappropriately with women.]]>
