In a dramatic turn of events, Ghulam Haider, the husband of Seema Haider, a Pakistani national who made headlines last year for illegally entering India to marry an Indian man she met online, has filed a complaint against Seema and her partner Sachin Meena, accusing them of “cheating.” The complaint, lodged in a Noida court this week, has raised eyebrows and drawn attention to the complex legal ramifications of their unconventional love story, as reported by The Times of India.
Represented by his Indian lawyer Momin Malik, Ghulam Haider has initiated legal proceedings against the couple under Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The complaint alleges that Seema had not finalized her divorce from Ghulam Haider, thereby invalidating her marriage to Sachin.
During the hearing on Thursday, Momin argued that Seema had identified Ghulam Haider as her husband in her bail application following her arrest for illegally entering India, despite publicly claiming to be married to Sachin. Consequently, the court issued a notice to the Noida police, instructing them to submit a report by April 18.
The saga began in July 2023 when Seema Haider was discovered residing with Sachin Meena in Uttar Pradesh’s Greater Noida. She revealed that she had developed feelings for him while playing the mobile game PUBG and made the decision to relocate to India to be with him, leaving behind her former husband, who was residing and employed in Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with BBC, Seema Haider disclosed that she had embraced Hinduism and expressed reluctance to return to her homeland. She also revealed that her children from her previous marriage had embraced Hinduism as well.
Amidst calls for her deportation, Seema Haider wrote to President Droupadi Murmu, seeking Indian citizenship, further adding a layer of complexity to her already convoluted situation.
