A.Dear Client!

Mere sitting in a car does not mean that couple is doing vulgar acts. Police can question on the ground of suspicion. But cannot defame any person.

Taking a car picture is not legal. It's a wrongful act done. You can lodge a Complaint before the nearest police station against those police personnel.

If the car is parked on the wrong side of the road or at No Parking Area. Then the Police can take car picture for the purpose of online challan, which usually happens in Mumbai.

A.Dear Client,
Taking photographs of persons by police for law enforcement purposes is governed by the Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920. It does not permit taking photographs of persons by police, except those who have been arrested or convicted of a crime, or sharing such photographs with any other law enforcement agency. However, Unmarried couples have the right to roam and sit together in public places as long as no “obscene act” takes place.
