Indian Woman Goes To Pak For Lover, Story Draws Parallels With Seema Haider's Cross-Border Romance

Anju's application for the neighbouring country was submitted on June 21, and she had already planned a visit to meet Nasrullah, a former schoolteacher who is now a medical representative.

Anju, a 35-year-old Indian woman, has become the centre of attention after she travelled to Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to meet her Facebook friend, Nasrullah. Her story has been compared to that of Seema Haider, who came to India from Pakistan, with both women embarking on journeys motivated by love. It is important to note, however, that Anju had applied legally to visit Pakistan before the Seema Haider issue came to light.

Anju's application for the neighbouring country was submitted on June 21, and she had already planned a visit to meet Nasrullah, a former schoolteacher who is now a medical representative. Their relationship blossomed on social media, and the couple fell deeply in love with each other during their Facebook interactions.

Their friendship is being investigated, security sources in Pakistan said. Anju expressed her love for Nasrullah and stated that she couldn't live without him. Bala Mushtaq Khan, the District Police Officer (DPO) of DIR, confirmed Anju's arrival from India following her Facebook friendship with Nasrullah. Authorities are currently questioning the Indian woman, and updates on the situation will be provided to the media as more information becomes available.

Anju's story shares striking similarities with Seema Haider's tale, as both women left their respective countries in pursuit of love. Both individuals are now facing inquiries related to their cross-border relationships, having fallen in love through online connections. While Seema's interaction began through the gaming platform PUBG, Anju's romantic journey started through her conversations on Facebook.

Haider was released from detention following the ATS investigation, and she maintains that she is not a spy and wishes to remain in India. 

Seema Haider, 30, from Pakistan's Sindh province, crossed into India illegally in May to be with her partner Sachin Meena in Greater Noida. Seema, a mother of four, was married to Ghulam Haider, who now lives in Saudi Arabia. On May 13, she illegally crossed the border into India with her four children, all under the age of seven, in a bus via Nepal.
