UP cop meets dreaded gangster at court, falls in love and marries him

Mangalore Today News Network

Uttar Pradesh, Aug 09, 2019 : It is an unlikely love story, sparingly encountered even in films and fiction - a cop falling in love with a dreaded gangster who is behind the bars. Not only does she fall in love with him, she ends up marrying him too. This is not something you hear about too often as to Yahoo.

 

This love story is from Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh.

Payal, the cop, first met Rahul Tharasana (30), the gangster, at a court where his case was being heard. Rahul was accused of murdering a trader named Manmohan Goyal. He was arrested on May 9, 2014. Reports say besides this, he is also an accused in over a dozen cases of loot and murder.

In a report, the Times of India said Payal met Rahul at the Surajpur court for the first time. She was posted there at that time. The report says according to police sources Payal remained in touch with Rahul "even as he continued to be in and out of jail".

Over the years their love story flourished and recently Rahul reportedly shared photographs where he and Payal are dressed up as bride and groom in a mandap. It was from their wedding, which apparently took place at an undisclosed location, TOI says in its report. The date of the wedding is not known.

On the other hand, Payal’s superiors are clueless about this. At the time of her wedding, she was posted at the Gautam Buddh Nagar police station. Officers at this police station aren’t aware where she is currently posted, TOI said.

"We are verifying where this woman is posted. Action is likely against her," SP (rural) Ranvijay Singh was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Meanwhile, responding to news reports on the woman constable, Senior Superintendent of Police, Noida, has issued a statement saying the department is trying to verify who the woman is.

Apparently Rahul is part of the Anil Dujana gang. Police officers privy to his crime records say he started his criminal activities in 2008.

He has been in and out of jails and even surrendered in July 2017 in a case of illegally possessing arms. He was jailed subsequently.
