Orgy with 50 naked people including prostitutes - held to celebrate a French woman's 28th birthday - becomes the latest Belgian sex party raided by police for breaking lockdown rules

A drug-fuelled orgy with 50 naked guests and prostitutes held to celebrate a French woman's 28th birthday was raided by Belgian police over the weekend.

Officers received calls about the noises coming from a holiday home – opposite a hospital – in the village of Saint-Mard in the province of Virton on Saturday night.

They believed there were about 20 people inside but they arrived to find 50 revellers – all naked and all French.

The young pleasure-seekers had chipped in £230 each to cover the costs of alcohol, drugs and the services of escorts at their 28-year-old friend's cross-border bash.

Police fined each attendee €250 – the same as they had paid their host.

At least one person was charged for possession of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and other drugs, The Brussels Times reported.

Police in India Make First Arrest Under New Interfaith Marriage Law

A Muslim man was held under a state law passed to address accusations by Hindu nationalists that women are being lured into marriage in order to convert them to Islam.

The police in northern India have made their first arrest under a new anti-conversion law intended to curb “love jihad” — a highly contentious term used by Hindu nationalists who accuse Muslim men of luring Hindu women to marry them in order to convert them to Islam.

The arrest in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh came days after state legislators there approved the law

aimed at curbing interfaith marriage, which makes forced religious conversion by marriage an offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
