'Free hugs' protest in WB after couple thrashed for hugging
People outside a metro station in Kolkata offered free hugs on Wednesday as a mark of protest against the incident where a couple was thrashed for hugging in a metro. The protestors could be seen holding posters, reading '#freehugs', "I love Kolkata' and '#hokalingon'. "Hugging is not something visually perverted, it's a sign of affection," a protestor said.
