Delhi court rules dancing in skimpy clothes not a crime, acquits 7 women in case

A Delhi court recently acquitted seven women who were accused of performing obscene dances at a bar while allegedly wearing short clothes last year. According to the court, dancing while wearing skimpy clothes is not a crime, even if such is performed in public. The case was registered last year in Delhi’s Paharganj when the women were accused of dancing obscenely at a bar, allegedly causing annoyance to people. The case depended on the testimony of a Sub Inspector named Dharmender, who claimed that he saw some girls dancing on obscene songs while wearing short clothes while he was on patrolling duty.
