00:00 Hello everyone this is Amina Ansari welcome to SW News English
00:04 You must have gone through your social media and news feed filled up with news about Seema
00:08 Haider, a Pakistani national who illegally entered India along with her four children
00:13 to unite with her lover Sachin Meena in India. Now with us, let's get to know what the entire
00:19 story of Seema Haider and her illegal entry to India.
00:23 Seema Haider, a Pakistani citizen from Sindh province of Pakistan, took a flight from Karachi
00:28 to Sarja and stayed in Dubai with a tourist visa. Then she took a final flight from Dubai
00:34 to Kathmandu. Then Seema chose the public transport in Nepal to reach Pokhara. Then
00:40 she took a bus from Pokhara to Khunwa border in Uttar Pradesh to enter India in May. From
00:46 there she travelled to Lucknow, Agra and reached Gautam Guddhanagar where her lover Sachin
00:51 Meena had rented an apartment in Rabupura. Well, this wasn't the first time Seema and
00:56 Sachin met. They had earlier met in Nepal in March where they had stayed in a hotel
01:01 with a fake name and impersonated as a married couple.
01:05 Now let's dive into Seema Haider's past life in Pakistan.
01:09 Seema stayed in Sindh province with her four children. She got married in 2014. Her husband
01:15 used to stay in Saudi Arabia from where he used to send 70-80 thousand Pakistani rupee
01:20 for his wife Seema Haider. With the help from her savings and assistance from her husband,
01:25 father-in-law and relatives, she had bought a house worth 12 lakh Pakistani rupees in
01:30 Pakistan. However, she sold her house three months after the purchase to fund her whole
01:36 journey to enter India. On July 4, Seema and Sachin were arrested under section 14 of Foreigners
01:43 Act, IPC section 120(b) and section 345 of the Passport Act. This whole illegal entry
01:50 of Seema Haider would have remained hidden if a lawyer who was approached by the couple
01:55 for legalising their marriage wouldn't have filed a complaint about Seema's illegal entry
02:01 to India. Soon after the arrest, Seema and Sachin were questioned for hours by UP's anti-terrorism
02:07 squad. Seema and Sachin were later released on bail on 7 July. Officials, however, told
02:14 the media that Seema couldn't be dubbed as a Pakistani spy unless they have enough proofs.
02:20 Now let's get to know what all information the investigations brought out about Seema
02:25 Haider.
02:26 Uttar Pradesh police have recovered two videocassettes, five Pakistani authorised passports with one
02:33 incomplete details, four mobile phones and an identity card. There are not one but many
02:39 points which have become base for claims made by public and groups who are terming Seema
02:44 Haider as a Pakistani spy or a sleeper cell agent.
02:49 In an interview to India Today, the husband of Seema Haider claimed that Seema's brother
02:53 is a border guard in Pakistan Army and her uncle is an officer at a high post in Pakistani
03:00 Army. This claim by Seema's husband has made the base stronger for suspicion on Seema.
03:06 There are further discrepancies found in the age and birth of Seema Haider.
03:12 The national ID of Seema was issued in September 2022 but an ID is usually issued a few months
03:18 after birth. Moreover, Seema claims her age to be 24 in the interrogations but her Pakistani
03:26 ID reveals her birth year as 2002 according to which she would age 21. In an affidavit
03:33 of 2014 acquired by India Today, the age mentioned by Seema is 19 or 20.
03:40 So what's the real age of Seema? Why there are so much discrepancy with Seema's age?
03:46 Why do her documents and her statements differ? There are further claims around Seema Haider
03:50 being a Pakistani sleeper cell agent who has chosen her base location near Hindon Air Base
03:56 and Jewar Airport. Further, some groups have claimed that Seema might have a chip implanted
04:03 in her body. There are further demands of scanning Seema Haider's body thoroughly in
04:08 case she had any implanted chips. There are speculations by the groups that as Independence
04:14 Day is approaching, there could be some planning related to it. Seema Haider is continuously
04:19 changing her statements during investigation with the ATS. Additionally, Seema Haider is
04:25 well-versed in news related to India and her language accent. These are some other points
04:31 which are raising suspicion on Seema Haider. Further, the inquiry revealed that she deleted
04:36 four Pakistani numbers from a mobile phone. This suspicion shadow loomed larger as Indian
04:42 authorities questioned her possible ties to Pakistan's spy agency ISI. However, Seema
04:49 has denied her links to ISI. While the Indian authorities investigate Seema Haider's case,
04:56 there are many questions which remain unanswered which we hopefully get answer to when the
05:02 investigation is completed. And the real face of Seema is revealed and whether it's just
05:07 power of love or a mission India.
