The case of Seema Haider, a Pakistani woman, is raising suspicions among Indian investigative agencies. However, so far, no evidence has been found to confirm her ties to Pakistan or the ISI, the country’s intelligence agency. After nearly 16 hours of intense interrogation over two days, UP ATS (Anti-Terrorism Squad) suspects that Seema Haider may be trying to mislead them. Despite her confident demeanor, answering most questions boldly, her responses have left ATS and other agencies on high alert. Additionally, there are concerns that someone in India might be guiding her. Furthermore, UP ATS has received significant information from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) regarding this matter.
During the investigation, those who helped Seema Haider reach her village in Noida have not been identified. The ATS also found out that she had sent friend requests to a few military officers. Before arriving in India, Seema had purchased a mobile phone in Pakistan for about 70,000 Pakistani rupees, which she informed the ATS during the questioning. The ATS also asked her if she was advised to be cautious while messaging and chatting on the phone.
Another crucial revelation during the interrogation was that ATS questioned Seema Haider about whether she used codewords. In the coded language of Pakistani intelligence, “Fufi” refers to a person who provides ISI with information related to their country. On the other hand, the codeword “Fruit” is used in reference to money. When ATS asked her about using these codewords, she denied any knowledge of Urdu or its usage in Pakistan. However, her statements have raised doubts as she converses fluently in Hindi and uses difficult Hindi words that are almost impossible to know without formal education.
Seema Haider produced her mobile phone bill for May 8th during the interrogation, and on the same day, she was issued a passport. Just two days later, on May 10th, she left Pakistan. The investigation is ongoing, and agencies are working tirelessly to unravel the truth behind Seema Haider’s claims and actions.
The mystery around Pakistani national Seema Ghulam Haider, who along with her four children crossed over to India via Nepal to be with her partner Sachin Meena, continues. The Uttar Pradesh Police’s Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) grilled her and Meena for the second consecutive day for eight hours before being allowed to return home.
“All agencies are doing their work. This matter is linked to two nations, it is not right to say anything unless there is sufficient proof. She had once been to jail and is now on bail. Further action is being taken…” Prashant Kumar, special director general (law and order), Uttar Pradesh Police, was quoted by ANI as saying on Wednesday, in response to a question whether Seema Haider is a Pakistani agent.
During the grilling by UP ATS on Tuesday, Haider is said to have failed to answer questions regarding her intention behind entering India illegally. The Intelligence Bureau officials were also present during the questioning. The IB has sought a report from the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), the central force that guards the Indo-Nepal border in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
