Seema Haider, a Pakistani woman, has been making headlines since July 2023 for her daring journey across international borders to be with her Indian lover, Sachin Meena. Born in 1996 in Sindh, Pakistan, Seema Ghulam Haider, as she is also known, is a married woman and mother of four children.
Seema's love story began in 2019 when she met Sachin Meena, a resident of Greater Noida, India, while playing the online game PUBG. Their relationship blossomed over time, leading Seema to make the drastic decision to leave her home country and travel to India illegally.
In May 2023, Seema, along with her four children, embarked on a risky journey from Pakistan to India via Dubai and Nepal. She managed to cross the Indo-Nepal border by bribing agents, a route she learned from YouTube videos. On May 13, 2023, she arrived in Greater Noida, where Sachin had arranged rented accommodation for her.
However, their happiness was short-lived. On July 4, 2023, Seema, Sachin, and his father were arrested by the Greater Noida police following a complaint about their marriage. They were charged with various offences under the Indian Penal Code, the Foreigners Act, and the Passport Act. After spending four days in jail, they were granted bail on July 8, 2023.
Despite the controversy and legal troubles, Seema has expressed her desire to stay in India with Sachin. She has converted to Hinduism and has requested the Indian government to grant her citizenship.
