Two young women from Uttar Pradesh who had been missing from their homes for nearly a month were found living together in a rented house in Khoda on Sunday. When their families tried to take them back separately, both women refused and said they loved each other and could not live without each other. “I’m a girl and I love a girl; we can’t live without each other,” they told their families.
Reportedly, the two women had gone missing on August 12. One of them was married, while the other was her friend from the private company where they both worked in Greater Noida. Their families eventually traced them to Khoda using locations from their Instagram and Snapchat accounts. The discovery led to an emotional confrontation, following which police were called to the rented house.
Uttar Pradesh families trace missing women through social media
The husband of one woman and the brother of the other had joined the search after realising that both had disappeared on the same day. The husband, originally from Basti district in Uttar Pradesh, said he had married a woman living near his village about four years ago. After their marriage, they moved to a colony in Greater Noida, where both worked for a private company in the Ecotech area.
Reports say that the other woman also worked at the same company. According to the husband, his wife became close friends with her about a year ago. He alleged that after this, arguments between the couple became frequent. His wife would often threaten to leave the house. A dispute also took place between them on August 12, after which she left home.

The husband said he searched extensively but could not find his wife and eventually filed a missing person report at the Ecotech police station. Her family members and relatives were also contacted and searched for her, but there was no clue.
Meanwhile, the other woman’s brother went to the same Greater Noida company while looking for his sister. There, he met the husband and they discovered that both women had been missing since August 12. This raised further suspicion and prompted the two Uttar Pradesh families to search for them together.
