Mathura:The mother and brother of a married woman allegedly tried to end their lives by pouring flammable substance on themselves at a police station in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura on Tuesday after knowing the fact that the woman is a lesbian and wants to marry another girl from Gorakhpur. Earlier, the woman left her in-law's house and started living with her parents.
According to police, the woman met a girl from Gorakhpur on Instagram a year and a half ago. She has been in love with the girl ever since and now she wants to marry her. The family members of the woman, however, are constantly opposing her decision. So through her advocate, she had given an application to the police station seeking separation from her family.
