Pakistan’s Seema Haider under ATS scanner; travel route to be probed

The UP ATS will investigate the full profile of Seema Haider and her family. The network of routes she chose and the mobile number she used during her travel to different countries will be probed from different angles.

Seema Haider traveled from Pakistan to Dubai first and then Dubai to Nepal. She entered India illegally through Nepal raising some serious questions related to security. Seema Haider was arrested earlier with her boyfriend for entering India without a valid Visa. Her boyfriend Sachin was arrested for helping her. The duo were later released on bail and are currently living in Noida.

Seema Haider converted her religion

Sachin and Seema Haider are urging the government to allow them to marry and let her stay in the country. Seema Haider claims that she has also converted her religion and is now a Hindu. Her action evoked reactions from her Pakistani family who has reportedly ostracised her for defying the 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 Haider said.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) expressed its concern over the news that these gangs have issued threats to target places of worship within the community. They have indicated the use of advanced weaponry. In response, the HRCP urgently urged the Sindh Home Department to promptly investigate this issue.
