Seema Ghulam Haider is a Pakistani woman who entered India unlawfully alleged to marry her Indian partner. Her love affair began on an online multiplayer game. Initially, local authorities detained the couple on charges of illegal immigration and residing in India without proper documentation. However, a court in Uttar Pradesh later granted them bail. The couple publicly expressed their love and appealed to the Indian authorities to permit them to marry and live together in India.[1][2]
It is also alleged that she is a spy from Pakistan and is affiliated with the intelligence agency ISI. The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has been assigned to investigate the case. The couple and woman's father were apprehended and faced charges under the Foreigners Act and Section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.[3] She was later released on bail and considers India her home as she mentioned in an interview with an Indian news media after changing her name and adopting Hinduism.[4][5]
