New Delhi, July 18: Seema Haider, who entered India illegally in May to live with her Indian partner Sachin Meena in Greater Noida, is under the ATS and Intelligence Bureau (IB)'s radar over her possible connections with the Pakistan army and the country's intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

 

 

The Uttar Pradesh police's anti-terrorist squad (ATS) on Monday questioned Pakistani citizen Seema Haider, who entered India illegally in May and is now living with her Indian partner Sachin Meena in Greater Noida for nearly six hours. The UP ATS on Tuesday again took Seema Haider and her lover Sachin Meena's father, Netrapal Singh, for questioning in Greater Noida.

 

This comes a day after the ATS arrested a suspected agent of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Lucknow on charges of supplying "vital information about defence establishments" to his handlers in the neighbouring country.

 

 

Seema Haider's mobile data, which was earlier deleted, will be sent to the forensic lab. According to the details, Seema's mobile data could uncover crucial details on sensitive matters, as her uncle and brother are associated with the Pakistan Army.

 

 

Investigations are also currently underway over Seema's entry into India without a visa. Her passport, Aadhar card and other documents related to her children will also be examined.

 

 

"They [Haider and Meena] may or may not be arrested after the questioning, depending on the outcome of the interrogation in the sensitive matter that pertains to national security," an ATS official told PTI.

 

Local police are separately investigating the case and are yet to file a chargesheet.

 

 

Seema, 30, had entered India along with her four children on a bus from Nepal in May in order to live with her partner Sachin, 22, who lives in the Rabupura area of Greater Noida in Gautam Buddh Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh.

 

The couple first got in touch in 2019 through online game PUBG.

 

On July 4, Seema was arrested by local police for entering India illegally and Sachin was held for sheltering illegal immigrants.

 

However, they were both granted bail by a local court on July 7 and have been living together with her four children in a house in the Rabupura area.

 

During her interactions with the media, Seema said she does not wish to go back to Pakistan and wants to live with Sachin in India only. She also claimed to have converted to Hinduism.

 

In Pakistan, Seema's family and neighbours told PTI that they do not want her to return.
