Bengaluru: A 50-year-old Pakistani woman has been arrested by the Bengaluru police for holding Pakistani citizenship for overstaying her visa. She was previously an Indian citizen but had taken Pakistani citizenship after marrying a Pakistani man, informed sources.
The arrested woman is Shabana Nasira resident of Siddapura.
AS per the sources, Shabana married Noor Mohammed in 1987 and had started living in Pakistan. However, she and her husband parted ways in 2010 and post the divorce, she visited India on a tourist visa.
It is gathered that Shabana application for an extension of visa and Indian citizenship is still pending approval.
However, during her stay in Bengaluru, she managed to get an Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, ration card, gas connection, and even a pension certificate for the elderly in her name. The police uncovered these developments based on a tip-off and have booked Shabana under the Foreigners Act and other relevant sections of the law.
It may be recalled that a Pakistani couple was deported after they were arrested in 2017 for illegally entering India and holding fake documents while living in Bengaluru. The couple— Kashif Shamsuddin and his wife Kirhon Ghulam Ali, were handed over to Pakistani authorities at the Wagah-Attari border.
