Buddha Jayanti
Park is one of the most popular hangouts for youngsters in Delhi.
Unfortunately, it is also quite infamous among locales. The notoriety was
attached with this park because of objectionable activities of couples. It is
also known as Buddha Garden. In fact, if you discuss about Buddha Garden in
Delhi, people will only think about couples openly smooching and getting
physical. Many people who came to Delhi from outside especially visit this park
just for the sake of enjoying ‘those activities’.
One of my
uncles, aged 54, was in Delhi in December, 2013. He went Buddha Garden for
morning walk. What he saw there was just ‘disgusting’. Even in the morning,
lots of couples were indulged in making physical relationship. He returned from
the park and asked me to make a reservation back home. He decided to not stay
in Delhi any more.
In 2003, Buddha
Garden came in news for another shocker. A Delhi University girl was raped by
four security persons. And, these four were the ‘elite’ member of president’s bodyguards.
A P J Abdul Kalam was shocked to learn about this incident. Two of these
security persons were awarded life sentences, while other two were given
rigorous imprisonment of not less than seven years. The DU girl had gone to the
park with her boyfriend and was sitting in a lonely place where this incident
happened.

This park is
also an easy place for making quick money by some corrupt police officers. They
always look for couple who are involved in making physical relationship. If
they found one, they ask for money. Even couples who are just kissing can be
caught by Delhi Police constables. Unfortunately, the idea is not to stop
couples from making these activities openly, but to get their palm greased.
