The NGO, Love Commandos, was launched in 2010 by journalist Sanjoy Sachdev, who has now landed in jail, and travel agent Harsh Malhotra. It operated mainly in north India, offering shelter to inter-religious, inter-caste and same-gotra couples fleeing from relatives baying for their blood. The NGO, featured in several documentaries, runs around 500 shelters, one of which was raided by the DCW on Tuesday. The DCW alleged that the couple who had been kept confined at the shelter for the longest period had spent four months there.
