Love Commandos: Forever Yours
The Love Commandos' origin story begins at a time of year you'd expect to find the man nicknamed India's cupid: Valentine's Day. But the circumstances surrounding the group's founding are anything but sweet.
In Episode 4 of Love Commandos, the duality of a deeply complicated individual emerges. Reporter Lauren Frayer and co-hosts Gregory Warner and Mansi Choksi team up to investigate the group's enigmatic leader, Sanjoy Sachdev.
They follow the money that funds the Commandos' operation. It's a search that leads us far away from India.
And closer to home, they discover a pattern that had been going on for years. Couples who stayed at the Love Commandos' shelter in Delhi arrived seeking safety and protection. But many of them say they soon discovered it was nearly impossible to leave.
Why would a shelter offering the freedom of choice in marriage end up making its residents feel like they were trapped?
Is Love Commandos a misunderstood project or something darker?
