The buzz around the story of Pakistani woman Seema Ghulam Haider, who illegally crossed into Indian territory to marry and live with her Indian lover took yet another turn on Monday as the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist squad started their investigation into the case.
The UP ATS will be investigating and tracing back the routes that Seema Haider took during her journey to India as reported by Zee News.
The ATS will also be investigating the full profile of Seema Haider and her family, the routes she took to cross and enter Indian borders and the mobile phone numbers she used on her way into India. The probe will be conducted from all angles.
Seema travelled from Pakistan to Dubai and from Dubai to Nepal. She entered Indian borders through Nepal which raised serious concerns around the security. She along with her boyfriend were arrested for entering India without a valid Visa. Her boyfriend Sachin was arrested on the charges of helping her but were later granted bail and are currently living in Noida.
Seema has apparently converted her religion to Hinduism and she along with her boyfriend Sachin are urging Indian Government to let her stay in the country and marry each other. Her action evoked reactions from her Pakistani family who has reportedly ostracized her for defying Muslim societal norms.
“I have accepted his religion and culture as my own and changed the names of my four children, who call Sachin ‘baba’. Sachin’s parents have also accepted me, and I have adopted all their cultural practices and will continue to live with them,” Seema Hider said in her Defence.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has expressed concern over the issue and urged the Sindh Home Department to promptly investigate the matter.
