today

A Mumbai "Mid-day" photographer caught Congress councillor Dharmesh Vyas spitting from the BMC headquarters at CST. The House is divided on whether he should be punished under the old law or the new law. Under the new law if you dirty public property — litter, urinate, spit, defecate, wash vehicles or utensils — you will be fined between Rs 500 to Rs 10,000. The Shiv Sena mayor wants to book Vyas under the new law and wants to fine him Rs 500. Seems a fair cop to me from the photo, URL below. The defendant claims he was only chewing gum, but it looks to me as bad if not worse even if he was. At least this way we can get the streets and homes a little cleaner.
