Bangladesh Woman Crosses Border To Marry Lover From Tripura. Here's What Happened Next

The woman was arrested for illegally entering Dharmanagar in North Tripura district.

A woman from Bangladesh, who crossed over the border and entered India to marry her lover, was arrested for illegally entering Dharmanagar in North Tripura district, news agency PTI reported on Friday, citing police.

Nur Jalal (34), a resident of Phulbari in the Dharmanagar subdivision, a married man and a self-styled kabiraj (practising ayurveda), used to pay frequent visits to Bangladesh's Maulvi Bazar. According to the police, Nur met the 24-year-old married woman at her native village during his visits to Bangladesh.

"With the passage of time, the woman identified as Fatema Nusrat fell in love with Nur, and around 15 days ago, she reached Dharmanagar illegally to get married," SDPO (Dharmanagar) Debasish Saha told PTI over the phone.

"Both Nur and Fatema were residing at Phulbari. Recently, we got information about the presence of a Bangladeshi woman and arrested her on Thursday. She has been sent to judicial custody for 14 days, but the man has fled," he said.

Earlier this year, Uttar Pradesh Police had detained a Pakistani woman, and her four children who were illegally staying in Greater Noida, reported PTI citing officials. As per the agency, they were allegedly sheltered by a local man who met the woman through the online game PUBG. The woman, identified as 27-year-old Seema Ghulam Haider met Sachin, a Greater Noida resident, over the online game PUBG which led to a friendship between them, the police officer said, as quoted by PTI. 

Police said that Sachin, who allegedly housed Seema Ghulam Haider and her children in his rented accommodation, has also been detained.  "The Pakistani woman and the local man have been detained. The woman's four children are also in police custody," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Saad Miya Khan told PTI. 

In another incident having striking similarities with Seema Haider's tale, Anju, a 35-year-old Indian woman, 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.
