Lucknow: Amid the rising cases of eve-teasing in the Uttar Pradesh capital, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Manzil Saini took to ‘Marine Drive’ for a reality check. Saini turned a pillion rider on a scooty in plain clothes but in spite of garnering praises, she welcomed criticism for violating the traffic rules in public for not wearing a helmet.

The first woman SSP of Lucknow was trolled on the social media platforms after photos of her went viral on the internet.

Saini drove through Lucknow’s Marine Drive area:

  • A Non Profit Organisation (NGO) raised its concern about mounting cases of eve-teasing in the city
  • Saini planned a surprise reality check
  • She said that police is receiving regular complaints about young boys, who under the influence of alcohol, get involved in eve-teasing

Lucknow SSP breaches traffic laws:

  • She turned a pillion rider with the owner of the NGO
  • Saini was in plain clothes while she drove through the city roads
  • Neither the driver, nor Saini herself wore helmet during the secret operation
