Mumbai: In a bizarre incident, hundreds of people watched, clicked and filmed a young couple making love on a road divider in the busy Marine Drive area at Nariman Point in south Mumbai on Thursday.
While some pedestrians filmed the incident, someone alerted the Police Control Room which rushed a mobile van.
On spotting the police, the couple disentangled, adjusted their clothes and quickly crossed to the other side, dodging the heavy traffic.
While the police team managed to catch the woman, the man, who appeared to be a foreign national, managed to escape.
The venue for the 'love act' was between the Air India Building and Marine Hotel Plaza, on the busy thoroughfare of Marine Drive, also known as Queen's Necklace. The spot was barely a stone's throw away from Mantralaya, the state government headquarters.
"The woman appears to be mentally unstable. She has been sent to the Mahila Suraksha Kendra in Chembur and further investigations are on," said deputy commissioner of police MK Sharma.
During preliminary questioning, the woman claimed she was from Goa, but later backtracked and gave contradicting replies.
The police are scanning the CCTV footages in the area to track down the foreigner, besides checking local hotels, and Foreigners Regional Registration Office for his identity.
