The police officials were shocked at hearing the situation of the women and informed their seniors.
After her complaint, senior officers reached the police station to ensure that they handled this sensitive case and find a way to resolve the differences.
The woman informed officials that she and her partner were held captive at a house, and that she had managed to reach the terrace and leapt over a wall to reach the police station.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police, IP Singh, said that their families were against their relationship and both of them were locked at one of the women's house.
He also informed that they rescued and united them as per their desire.
"Their families were called to the police station and counselled. They were told that the law provides protection to same-sex couples and the families could face action if a complaint is lodged," ACP Singh said as reported by The Times Of India.
The women shared with the media persons present at the police station that both of them were adults and capable enough to earn to sustain ourselves.
