Cousins marriage under the supervision of Bhajrang Dal activists on Valentine's day irks the families of both the sides. The duo were brother and sister by relations and were deeply in love with each other, they were spotted together by the activists who were serious against the meeting of unmarried couples on the 'Lovers day' (February 14).

Waiting for the chance the couple met the activists and expressed their intentions to unite. After weighing the situation carefully the activists took the couple to the Khushaiguda Sai Baba temple, where they were married away.

However the event evoked negative response from parents of both sides and the many residents of the area. Whether to appreciate their sincerity or to despise their ill logical interest is leaving a bad tinge in the chaste Hindu community. Everything is changing and so are values and attitude of individuals, recall veterans. (Wishesh AarKay)
