RANCHI: A lesbian couple in Jharkhand who ran away from home was tracked down by the police and forced to stay apart.
Ranjeeta Mukhi and Manisha Lama, residents of Ghatshila near the steel city of Jamshedpur, were first suspected to be Maoist cadres by police. But they simply turned to be lesbians in love.
The two women had been living together in Chakradharpur near Jamshedpur for three weeks at an undisclosed place to avoid opposition to their relationship by their families.
The couple was separated during a police raid on Saturday.
Police raided their house believing it to be a hideout of Maoist rebels. To their surprise the police found love letters instead of Maoist literature.
Police refused to play cupid to their forbidden love and informed the families after taking them into custody.
"We feel ashamed. Her act does not have social sanction and we cannot approve wrong things," said Shankar Lama, father of Manisha.
However, Ranjeeta's father sounded more humane and understanding: "What they have done is beyond our imagination. But considering their emotional attachment and love I do not have any problem if they stay together at my house."
