While the debate against Yogi Adityanath’s controversial ‘anti-Romeo squad’ continues, senior lawyer and former AAP leader Prashant Bhushan jumped into the fray by calling Lord Krishna an ‘eve teaser’.
Bhushan’s comment came after Swaraj India’s spokesperson Anupam wrote on Twitter: "Anti Romeo Squad: India's tribute to Shakespeare! Won't b surprised if England, to fight eve-teasing, forms Anti Krishna Squad in retaliation!"
Replying to this statement, Bhushan wrote: “Romeo loved just one lady,while Krishna was a legendary Eve teaser. Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes Anti-Krishna squads?"
This angered a lot of Twitterati who hit out at him:

On Saturday, three policemen were suspended after a video of some persons shaving the head of a youth, who was roaming with a female friend, in their presence went viral on social media.
The incident took place on March 22 after the residents of South City Colony called police on finding a youth and a girl roaming around together, SP K V Singh said.
They caught hold of the youth and shaved off his hair despite three constables of Azizganj police post being present there. One of the constables captured the incident on his mobile phone camera, the SP said.
It was when the constable sent the video to his friend through WhatsApp that it went viral and the incident came to light, the SP said.
The three constables -- Suhel Ahmed, Layek Ahmed and Sonpal -- have been put under suspension. Besides, an inquiry has been ordered against the in-charge of Azizganj police post K K Chaudhary who allegedly tried to hush up the matter, the Singh said.
The Yogi Adityanath government has issued clear directions to police and administration to ensure that youngsters are not troubled unnecessarily in the name of curbing eve-teasing and action is taken against self-proclaimed "anti-Romeo" squads indulging in moral policing.
