Love is Love! Hyderabad witnesses its first gay marriage, see the beautiful photos of the ceremony
Love is love! Hyderabad based gay couple solemnised their relationship in what could be termed as the first same-sex wedding in Telangana on Saturday. Abhay Dange, 34, and Supriyo Chakraborty, 31, married as per Punjabi and Bengali customs in the presence of their family and friends.
In India, same-sex weddings cannot be registered under the law, although homosexuality was decriminalised by the Supreme Court in 2018.
According to the Times of India, Supriyo Chakraborty and Abhay Dange exchanged vows and rings in a “promising ceremony” on December 18.
The ceremony was held in the outskirts of Hyderabad and consisted of a mix of both Punjabi and Bengali traditions to pay tribute to their respective families. Prior to the wedding, they also had a Mehendi and Haldi ceremony and a sangeet function.
The couple met through a dating app eight years ago and since then have been going strong. A month into their dating, Supriyo introduced Abhay to his mother. Supriyo admits his mother was initially surprised and took a few days to process the information. Eventually, she accepted them wholeheartedly.
“Our parents were pleased that we included them from the beginning, and they have been very supportive of our relationship,” Supriyo Chakraborty told Humans of Hyderabad – a popular page that documents the stories of the city’s residents.
“Our journey to being accepted as gay men has not been too difficult. Once you come out to a critical mass of people and they accept you, your self-confidence rises and each new coming out becomes easier,” he said.
The photos of their beautiful wedding have gone viral on social media. Supriyo himself documented his wedding on Instagram.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
