BALLIA, Jul. 25, 2023 (TBINN)
Police visited village of the husband of woman who recently travelled to a remote corner of Pakistan to meet a Facebook friend and conducted a preliminary investigation, officials said today.
Police officials visited Kharagpura Village of the District Ballis on Monday, a day before Anju, a mother of two children, converted to Islam and married her friend Nasrullah in a court in the neighbouring country’s Upper Dir District.
Circle Officer (C.O.) of Rasda in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, Mohammad Faheem Qureshi today said police went to Kharagpura Village on Monday and conducted a preliminary investigation regarding Arvind (the woman’s Indian husband).
Anju and Arvind visited the village only once, in 2014, to attend a marriage of her brother-in-law Anoop. This was before a senior officer of Moharrar City Police Station in Pakistan’s Upper Dir District told the Press that Nasrullah and Anju’s marriage was solemnised and a proper Nikah was performed after the woman converted to Islam.
Another senior police official confirmed the marriage and said Anju has been named Fatima after her conversion to Islam.
