Valentine’s Day celebrations in Patna turned tense after members of a right-wing group distributed Hanuman Chalisa to couples at Buddha Smriti Park and asked them to separate.

The group claimed Valentine’s Day goes against Indian culture and issued public warnings across the city.

Patna Police remained on alert and warned against any attempt to intimidate or disturb public order.

The incident has reignited the debate between personal freedom and cultural policing in public spaces.
