A Pune-based law college came to the rescue of a Mumbai-based couple who was convicted for stealing mobile phones at Pune railway station and were lodged at the Yerwada Central Prison for 40 days, as they could not pay the penalty. The college faculty took over their case and also helped bail them out so they could spend their first Diwali together.

The 23-year-old man and 19-year-old woman got married in December 2018, against the wishes of their family. While the man is a DJ, the woman suffers from mental illness. They stayed with their relatives for a while, but were later abandoned.
