'Moonstruck Pakistani woman' faces ordeal after illegally reaching India
Pakistan
Seema Ghulam Haider and her friend Sachin were living in a rented apartment in Greater Noida
NEW DELHI (Web Desk) – A Pakistani woman, along with her four children, is alleged to have illegally crossed over to India to meet her PUBG friend living in Greater Noida near New Delhi.
It was not a smooth sailing for the woman as Indian police arrested the couple when they got information.
Ill-fated Seema Ghulam Haider became the latest woman from Pakistan to face deportation from India after falling in love with an Indian man and crossing the border illegally with her four children. Seema had met Sachin on gaming app PUBG. They fell in love and Seema illegally entered India through Nepal. She was accompanied by her four children as she reached Greater Noida where Sachin lived.
The couple met through the gaming platform. They started chatting with each other online and eventually fell in love. After Seema reached India, they started living together in a rented apartment in Greater Noida's Rabupura area.
Soon after, local police received information that a Pakistani woman was illegally living in Greater Noida. When Sachin learnt that police may have got wind of Seema's presence, he fled with her and four children.
Brijesh, the owner of the apartment where the couple lived, told police that they had rented the house in May. They said they had a court marriage and had four children.
"It did not seem like the woman was from Pakistan. She wore shalwar suit and sarees," the landlord told police.
Sachin and Seema have been arrested by police and further investigation is on.
Ikra Jivani case
In February, Ikra Jivani was similarly deported after police refused to heed her pleas to be allowed to marry her Indian host. Both women used the Nepal route to enter India, probably leaning on easy travel allowed between the two countries.
Late January, she was arrested along with her husband by the Bellandur police. Ikra, a resident of Hyderabad in Pakistan, got introduced to Yadav through online game Ludo. They reportedly fell in love and decided to get married.
Ikra traveled to Kathmandu without informing her parents. She then sneaked into India through the Birgunj border in Bihar.
The two reached Bengaluru on Sept 28, 2022 and settled in a rented house in Junnasandra near Sarjapur Road. Yadav had got her Aadhaar card done in the name of ‘Rava Yadav’ and applied for a passport.
The central investigating agencies tracked her parents in Pakistan and informed the local police. The police team had arrested Ikra and Mulayam Singh Yadav. She was sent home to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah border.
Police probe showed that Ikra and Mulayam did not have a criminal background.
