Marriage in Pak, life in UP: Woman arrested after 30 years without citizenship
India Today
A Pakistani woman living in Meerut for decades has been arrested over allegations of forged Indian citizenship documents and espionage. The investigation is ongoing as police probe serious national security concerns raised by a local social worker.
For nearly three decades, she lived in the heart of Meerut as a wife and mother. Now, a Pakistani woman has been arrested in Uttar Pradesh on allegations that she never acquired Indian citizenship and instead built her life here on forged documents, with her daughter also coming under the scanner.
The case surfaced after a complaint by a local social worker led police to register an FIR against Saba Masood alias Naji alias Nazia and her daughter, Anam Farhat, over alleged Pakistani citizenship and fabricated identity papers.
According to the complaint, Saba married a resident of Meerut, Farhat Masood, in Pakistan in 1988. After the nikah, she moved to India and began living with her husband in the Jali Kothi locality of Meerut.
The couple have three children. Police said two were born in India. However, in 1993, Saba travelled back to Pakistan, where a daughter, Anam Farhat, was born in May that year. It is alleged that Anam’s entry was made on Saba’s Pakistani passport before mother and child returned to India.
Anam was later admitted to a reputed school in the cantonment area. The complaint alleges that despite living in India for years, neither Saba nor Anam obtained Indian citizenship and both remain Pakistani nationals.
The complainant, Rukhsana, alleged that forged documents were prepared to secure Indian identity papers. She claimed that a passport was fraudulently obtained for Anam, that Saba managed to get her name entered in the voter list at two different places, and that Aadhaar cards were also procured on the basis of fake documents.
