Cop marries gangster in Greater Noida

Lucknow: It may sound like a script of a dramatic Bollywood film, but an unlikely love story between a gangster and a woman constable that began at the local court compound in Greater Noida and ended with them getting married, has become the talk of town.

30-year-old Rahul Thasrana was arrested in connection to the murder of trader Manmohan Goyal on May 8, 2014 and has more than a dozen other cases lodged against him.

Payal and he met at Surajpur court where she was posted. Police sources said that Payal remained in touch with Thasrana even as he continued to be in and out of prison and got married immediately after Thasrana was released.

The wedded couple is living at an undisclosed location in order to avoid any unwanted circumstances, considering Thasrana's criminal background and past.

While Payal makes occasional visits to her in-laws at Thasrana village, her husband has not been seen for months.
