On International Women's Day, a group of people had a strange gift for the women in Kerala's Kochi. Armed with sticks, they raided the city's picturesque marine drive and heckled and chased away couples. Video footage aired by local television channels show the men holding a procession, carrying flags and banners. Midway, some of them break away and chase couples. One man is even seen shouting at and abusing the women. All of this was happening in the presence of the state police, who did not intervene. As the news triggered outrage, six men were arrested. The police said they were Shiv Sena activists. One policeman has been suspended. (Video courtesy: Manorama News)
