Unlawfully wedded to Indian, Pakistani woman deported

AMRITSAR: A 19-year-old Pakistani woman, Iqra Jeewani, fell in love with an Indian boy, Mulayam Singh, while playing Ludo online, came all the way to India via Kathmandu to marry him and even chose to stay illegally in Bengaluru.
Her love story was cut short, as police found her and repatriated to Pakistan through the Attari land border on Sunday.
Sources said Iqra married Mulayam Singh (26), a resident of Uttar Pradesh who had been living in Bengaluru for the past several years.
“Iqra had a problem in getting a visa so she was advised, presumably by Mulayam, to first go to Nepal and then illegally enter India via the Sanoli border,” said sources.
On September 19, Iqra landed at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, where she was received by Mulayam.
Both of them married in Kathmandu and stayed there for about a week, before entering India via Sanoli border and went to Bengaluru where Iqra started staying under a forged Hindu name Rava, said sources.
The neighbours of Mulayam got suspicious when they saw a Hindu girl offering namaz in his house and informed the police, which raided Mulayam’s house and found Iqra and her Pakistani passport.
Iqra was arrested by Bengaluru police and was brought to Amritsar for repatriation to Pakistan via Attari land border.
