Pakistani national, Seema Ghulam Haider and her four children were detained while attempting to flee to Delhi, according to a statement made by Noida police on Tuesday.

Seema Haider had unlawfully entered India via Nepal to join her romantic interest, Sachin Meena, whom she met in 2019 while playing the online video game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG).

Following her arrest for visa violations, Seema Haider underwent questioning by the Anti-Terror Squad of the Uttar Pradesh Police. As per the FIR lodged by the Noida police, Seema disclosed that she had been unable to obtain an Indian visa and had consequently traveled to Nepal before boarding a bus to New Delhi.

Sachin Meena, who provided shelter to Seema and her children, was also arrested. He had reportedly introduced Seema to his father, indicating his intent to marry her. Seema agreed to adapt to the Indian way of life, a condition set by Sachin’s father for their marriage. However, legal complications arose due to her non-Indian citizenship, putting a halt to their marriage plans.

Fearing that her immigration status might be revealed, Seema and her children left their residence in Greater Noida’s Mohalla Ambedkar Nagar and aimed to escape to Delhi, only to be apprehended soon after. Seema’s arrest was carried out on July 4 for the visa violations, and her four children, all under the age of seven, were also detained. Sachin is currently in jail for harboring the illegal immigrants, and police are working on recovering data from his damaged mobile phone.
