A suspected Pakistani woman who was moving suspiciously was arrested in Tripura. She claimed that she escaped from Nepal during the Gen Z protest. She was sentenced in Nepal for a drug trafficking case.
Senior officials are interrogating her. The arrested woman told police that she is an inhabitant of Pakistan’s Sheikhupura district.
A senior police official said that the 50-year-old woman was arrested by the Government Railway Police (GRP) from southern Tripura’s Sabroom Railway Station on Saturday night after she arrived there by the Kanchanjunga Express.
The Kanchanjunga Express runs from Sealdah (Kolkata) to Sabroom.
The official said, "The woman speaks fluent Hindi. She claimed to be from Puran Basti in Delhi. She claimed her name is Saheena Parveen. She could not produce any valid identity document. Several Pakistani contact numbers were found with her, concealed in sheets of paper tied around her waist."
The official said she admitted later that she is a Pakistani national from the Punjab province.
The woman further claimed that she was attempting to return to Pakistan via Bangladesh and, following the instructions of an agent, arrived in Sabroom via the Kanchanjunga Express from Siliguri (West Bengal). She revealed her true identity as Louis Nighat Akhtar Bhano, wife of Mohammad Golaf Faraj, from Village Younganabad, Chak No. 371, District Sheikhupura, Pakistan,” the police official said, quoting the interrogation report.
The official said that the woman revealed she had travelled to Nepal 12 years ago with a passport for drug trafficking purposes, and in 2014, she was arrested by Nepal Police with one kg of brown sugar and sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment.
The official said that she was kept in Kathmandu Jail, and last month, during unrest in Nepal, she escaped from custody. She entered India 15 to 16 days ago. She first went to West Bengal but found no opportunity to cross the border. Following the directions of the agent, she travelled to Tripura and arrived in Sabroom on the Kanchanjunga Express.
