VHP–Bajrang Dal members organized a protest rally against Valentine’s Day celebrations and issued open threats against those celebrating. They burned greeting cards and soft toys and recited the Hanuman Chalisa during the demonstration. Protesters raised slogans including, “Wherever we find Bunty-Babli, we will break their bones,” “Those who celebrate Valentine’s Day should be beaten with shoes,” and “Wherever we see Babu and Sona, we will break every corner.”
