It all started when a group calling themselves the 'Mast Group' put up a poster saying, "Women, wear clothes in such a way that no one dares to look at you with evil eyes." In response, another board from ''Trasth Group'' came up below it, asking men to keep their minds and thoughts pure.
It read: ''Men, keep your mind so clean that no matter what clothes someone wears, your eyes should not fall.'' Notably, the posters originally written in Marathi were spotted near a walking track in Pune.
