Under the Motor Vehicles Act in Delhi and Prevention of Begging Act, 1959 in Mumbai, begging is considered a crime.
According to this law, begging, vending on roads, cleaning vehicles at traffic junctions, singing in buses and displaying disability for alms are all unlawful. A police officer or any authorised person in this regard has the right to arrest such a person.
The government and the police department seems to be sleeping on this. Lets hope at least when many know about it, this law is enforced.
