A 19-year-old woman from Pakistan who crossed the border to marry her lover was arrested by the Bellandur police and has been sent back to Pakistan, police said on Tuesday.

The woman, Ikra Jivani became acquainted with Mulayam Singh Yadav through the online game Ludo. As they fell in love, Ikra arrived in India through the Birgunj border in Bihar without informing her parents.

On September 28, 2022, the duo arrived in Bengaluru and began living in a rented house in Junnasandra near Sarjapur Road. Yadav had got her Aadhaar card done in the name of ‘Rava Yadav’ and also applied for a passport.

On January 23, she was arrested along with her husband by the Bellandur police.

The central investigating agencies tracked her parents in Pakistan and informed the local police. The police team had arrested Ikra and Mulayam Singh Yadav and produced them before the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).

Authorities confirmed that Ikra has been sent back to Pakistan through the Attari-Wagah border.

As per sources, the probe showed that both Ikra and Mulayam do not have criminal or suspicious background.

The probe was carried by local police and central agencies. The two were in a relationship for four years, before the girl decided to cross over and live with him.

When the authorities started preparing to deport her to Pakistan, Ikra refused to go back.

Police sources revealed that she pleaded with the authorities not to deport her. The young woman claimed that since she had married an Indian, she should be allowed to stay back here with him.

The authorities had approached the Pakistan government in this regard and the process took about two months, the sources added.
