Meerut: Two Pakistani women, a mother and her daughter, who had allegedly been living in hiding in Meerut for nearly 30 years, have been booked by the Uttar Pradesh police for fraudulently obtaining Indian identity documents, including Aadhaar Cards, passports and voter ID entries.
Police said that the women were residing in Jali Kothi, a densely populated locality in the city. Police identified them as Saba, also known as Nazia and her daughter Aiman Farhat. They were living in the Nadir Ali Building in the area, police said.
According to police officials, Saba was married in Pakistan in 1988 and came to India in 1993 on a Pakistani passport. However, she never returned to Pakistan after her visit. Her daughter, Aiman Farhat, was also born in Pakistan. Both are said to hold Pakistani citizenship and did not have valid Indian citizenship documents.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Avinash Pandey, police received information that Farhat Masood, a resident within the Delhi Gate police station limits, had travelled to Pakistan and married a woman named Saba. Saba had a daughter in Pakistan; although both are Pakistani citizens, they allegedly obtained Indian passports. It has also been discovered that they acquired two voter ID cards.
SSP Avinash Pandey stated that the preliminary investigation confirmed they were residing in India without citizenship, and a thorough investigation has now been ordered.
The case came to light after a complaint was filed by a woman named Ruksana. Following the complaint, police began an inquiry and found that the two women had allegedly managed to obtain Aadhaar cards and Indian passports despite not being Indian citizens. Their names were also included in the voter list, raising serious questions about how they entered official records.
Police sources said it is alleged that the women even travelled abroad several times using the Indian passports obtained through fraudulent means.
Police said that a case has been registered at the Delhi Gate police station under relevant sections of law.
The investigation will also focus on identifying officials or agents who may have assisted them in obtaining these documents. Police are examining their bank accounts, call details, and any foreign contacts to check for possible links or suspicious activities.
