Let us tell you, rightwing Bajrang Dal, who is always against the Valentine Day’s eve, stated to deploy over 250 activists in Dehradun Valentine's Day to shoot videos of couples involved in 'obscene activities' in public places and ensure that nothing 'unethical' happens in the name of celebration.
The Times of India reports that the activists plan to submit these videos to the police so that they can take appropriate actions.
So be careful out there people and have safe and happy Valentine’s Day.
