Delhi's newly inaugurated Signature Bridge has been in news for all the wrong reasons ever since it was thrown open for public earlier this month. The bridge, which witnessed an ugly ruckus between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, has become a hooliganism spot.
Recently, a video of transgenders stripping on the newly constructed bridge went viral. The police have now registered a case of obscenity in public in the matter.
The purported video of the incident shows transgenders removing their clothes on Signature Bridge and dancing while passersby watch them. The incident had also caused a long traffic jam on the bridge.
After the video went viral on social media, police registered a case of obscenity in public and are probing the exact date of the alleged incident, an officer said.
The Signature Brigde has become a popular hangout spot ever since its opening. Some have been seen taking dangerous selfies by climbing onto the boundary of the bridge.
Following repeated complaints of no police presence at the site, the police have tightened security on the Signature Bridge.
The police have written to the civic authorities to install informative boards cautioning people against clicking selfies in a dangerous manner and the traffic police are issuing challans against violations.
