Cases have been registered against at least 100 persons by the police for taking out processions and engaging in unlawful assembly at the Marine Drive ground in Kochi on November 2 when the controversial 'Kiss of Love' programme against moral policing was to be held.
The Marine Drive was packed with onlookers, members of organisations like Shiv Sena, and others who were protesting against conduct of the 'Kiss of Love' protest.
While no cases were registered against onlookers and spectators those who took out processions were taken in by the cops.
The organisers of the event had at the last moment decided to take out a march to the venue when they were taken into custody by police.
A group of Facebook users had called for the programme to protest against the vandalism by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha volunteers on a hotel in Kozhikode, alleging that immoral activities were going on there.
The 'Kiss of Love' campaign was a call by group of "Free Thinkers" led by short film maker Rahul Pasupalan, to come to Marine drive on Nov 2 to hug and kiss each other.
Many organisations had protested against the event saying it was against Indian culture.
