Being out in the streets in night is a crime in Hyderabad. Doesn’t matter if they are ex criminals, mere teenagers, they are just subjected to moral policing by the state.
Late night police patrolling intensified against people sitting on street platforms (chabutras). The SHO personally conducted foot patrols across lanes in Bandlaguda to ensure no one was gathered on chabutras during late hours. #Hyderabad #Bandlaguda #PolicePatrolling

The Hyderabad police is back to moral policing of teenagers being on the street at night. They use a pre independence law of Hyderabad City Police Act 1939 to do this only in Hyderabad.
"Why sit in the streets late at night? Now, sit peacefully here in the PS until morning. We even have good lighting here," said the SHO while counseling the detainees on avoiding late-night gatherings. Action was taken under Mission #Chabutra in #Asifnagar PS limits #Hyderabad.
