The Vartak Nagar police have registered the FIR against a 23-year-old Thane resident, who recently returned to the country from Pakistan after allegedly providing fake Aadhaar and PAN cards to obtain a passport and visa in 2023. The woman, Nagma alias Sanam Khan, is married to Pakistan citizen Bashir Ahmed whom she met on Facebook in 2021. Khan claimed that she had returned to India to meet her mother who is in the hospital.

Khan told mid-day, “I was in Std VIII when my family arranged for me to be married to a local during a visit to our village in Utter Pradesh. Later, I was wed to the person and lived in his home but he was unemployed and would beat me. In 2015, I separated from him and returned home with my daughter. In 2021, during the pandemic, I met Bashir Ahmed online and we fell in love with each other. Bashir told me he would marry me and I decided to go to Pakistan. Love is supreme and no border can separate me from the object of my affection. In 2023, I applied for a passport and after receiving it, applied for a visa.”
