In recent days, Lucknow has been in the news due to a couple of videos featuring couples engaging in public displays of affection (PDA). The most recent video shows a couple kissing on the streets of Lucknow while standing through the sunroof of a vehicle. The video was recorded by a person riding a bike just behind the vehicle and has gone viral on the internet.
Lucknow Police has taken cognizance of the video and has traced the vehicle’s number. Action will soon be taken against the couple. Last week, a similar incident was reported from Lucknow’s Hazratganj area where a couple was seen riding a scooter. It was revealed that the girl was a minor and police let her off with a warning.
Under the laws around open sunroofs, the couple have been fined as there is a possibility of a lethal injury in the event of an accident. Moreover, it could annoy and divert the attention of other drivers on the road causing lethal accidents.
