The Noida police have sent the documents recovered from Pakistani citizen Seema Haider, who entered India without a visa in May, to the Pakistan Embassy to confirm her identity. This comes as the police continue their investigation into the Seema Haider case. The documents sent by the police include Seema's Pakistani identity card and her children's passports.
Meanwhile, Haider submitted a mercy petition to President Droupadi Murmu, seeking permission to reside with her "matrimonial home" in Greater Noida along with her four children. Haider, who is represented in her case by Supreme Court advocate A P Singh, has also requested an oral hearing before the president. The petition, which was received by the President's secretariat on Friday, details her current situation and begs for compassion and understanding.
Haider (30) claims in the petition that she is in love with Sachin Meena (22) of Greater Noida and moved to India with her four children to live with him. The Pakistani citizen claims she converted to Hinduism and married Meena according to Hindu rites and rituals at Kathmandu's Pashupatinath temple.
"...Hon'ble madam, the petitioner has found peace, love and happiness, and a sense of purpose with Sachin Meena as a beloved husband, his father as father-in-law, and his mother as mother-in-law that the petitioner never had before. Her excellency, (the) petitioner begs you to believe the petitioner and show compassion to a lady, not highly educated," Haider's petition read.
Haider appears unwell in a video that surfaced on Saturday, receiving glucose drips, which are typically administered to those suffering from dehydration or low blood sugar levels. Haider, who is from Pakistan's Sindh province, says she met Meena in 2019-20 through an online game, PUBG. Their friendship blossomed on platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram, eventually leading to love between the two.
Haider and her four children entered India illegally through Pakistan on May 13, hoping to reunite with Meena, who lives in Greater Noida's Rabupura area.
