Addressing presspersons Shashi Kumar told, “Some people who belong to some organization had appealed in social media not to celebrate Valentine’s day, claiming it was a western tradition. They have appealed to flower sellers, party hall owners and hotel owners not to offer their services to organizers of such events.”

“We have detained one person who was circulating such kind of message. A ‘bind over’ order was issued against him” the police commissioner said.
He said Mangaluru police will keep a tight vigil during the Valentine’s Day celebrations.

“We will deploy police forces at beaches, malls, hotels, and other sensitive places on February 14, as a preventive measure,” the police commissioner added.
