For the approximately 40,000 people running the Mumbai Marathon, one of the biggest privileges is access to the out-of-bounds-to-pedestrians sea link. So, imagine their disgust when the stunning view of the bay was marred by a bunch of men urinating into the Arabian Sea.

A furious runner, Shweta Samota, decided she had had enough. She photographed the men in action this time and has started an online petition to stop this practice. The petition is intended to stop runners from urinating in the open and create more awareness about the issue. She intends to submit a petition copy to the event owner - Procam International - once a decent number of signatures are obtained. "I want Procam to take action against the offending runners by probably banning them for a year," her petition reads.
