Inquiry ordered into moral policing by Hyderabad Police against couples

Young couples were forced to do sit-ups at a park in Hyderabad in presence of police.

Hyderabad: The city police has ordered an inquiry into an incident in which some young people were seen in a video clip doing sit-ups in a public place here in the presence of police.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) has been asked to inquire into the incident, which has been described as an act of moral policing, and submit a report, a police official said.

The incident, reported by some television news channels, is said to have happened at the Golconda Fort and Qutb Shahi tombs complex here, a few days ago.

There have been complaints from tourists, including foreigners about couples allegedly indulging in acts of 'obscenity' at the site, the official said.

"Any action should be as per law. Sit-ups is not correct," he said, adding that all the facts of the matter would be known after the inquiry.
