Members of Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, however, said the mannequins were illegal and immoral. "I have raised this issue and want an end to showcasing of women's body on Mumbai streets. Mannequins displaying two-piece clothes or other lingerie are corrupting the minds of people and are against the morals of the society. This affects the mindset of men towards women and they see her as a commodity. As a member of the society, we have to understand the awkwardness a woman or a family in a market will feel standing in front of such a mannequin," said Ritu Tawade, who proposed the ban.
