According to the police, a group of local Shiv Sena members asked the couples at chowpati near Khadakvasla dam to stop their celebrations. Some couples told the Sena members that they were already engaged and would be getting married soon.
However, the Sainiks asked these couples to put garlands around each other’s neck to prove what they said. The Sainiks forcibly put on a flower band on the boy’s head and even forced the girl to put the garland around the boy’s neck.
An eyewitness said the Sainiks forced at least three couples to “marry” in this manner.
They, however, did not attack or subject any of the couples to physical harassment. Most of the couples were, in fact, seen laughing when the Sainiks solemnized the “marriage.”
The police have not arrested any of the Shiv Sainiks involved in the incident. DSP Ravindra Kadam said, “We will be arresting the Sainiks who troubled the couples at Khadakvasla. Efforts are on to nab them.”

Feels like there is some improvement in the Shiv Sainiks, its fine till they are not causing any kind of damage to both life and property. This is one of the ways that they can Adopt to protest or to express their protest for celebrating valentines day....... But even though they have to go a long way ........
