Seeking protection to their lives from the families, a recently married couple today came to the office of the City police Commissioner.
Manikandan of Kandhal in Udhagamandalam in Nilgiris district and Wajida of Ooty-Mysore Road were in love for the last four years, police said.

The lovers came to Coimbatore and entered into wedlock in a temple in Podanur near here as per Hindu custom, they said.
Fearing for life, both came to the office of Commissioner seeking protection, police added.
