Pak Man Stabs Wife To Death In Flat Near Mumbai Before Killing Self
Navi Mumbai: A 45-year-old Pakistani national allegedly fatally stabbed his 35-year-old wife, also a Pakistani, using a kitchen knife in their rented flat in Kharghar node of Navi Mumbai before killing himself over a domestic dispute, police said on Tuesday. The Pakistani couple, identified as Notandas alias Sanjay Sachdev and his wife Sapna Notandas, were on long-term visas to India, a police officer said. Deputy Commissioner of Police Prashant Mohite said the couple was found lying in pools of blood in their rented flat on Monday. "The sister of the woman visited the flat on Monday as Sapna Notandas was not responding to her calls, leading to the discovery of the crime," said Mohite. He said doctors declared Sapna Notandas dead at the scene, while her husband succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The preliminary investigation suggests that Notandas attacked his wife with a sharp kitchen knife following a fight, stabbing her multiple times on the neck, back, and shoulder, leading to her death. "Subsequently, Notandas used the same weapon to stab himself in the neck, which resulted in his own death," the police officer said. He said Sapna Notandas and her husband were originally Pakistani citizens. "Our records show they arrived in India in November 2024 on a long-term visit visa. The couple had been residing in the flat with their two children for the past six months. We are currently conducting a thorough verification of their visas and other identity documents as part of the ongoing investigation," Mohite added. Police have registered a case under section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, the Central government issued 'leave India' notices to Pakistani nationals holding short-term visas covering 12 categories. The External Affairs Ministry had stated that the decision to suspend visas of Pakistani nationals wouldn't affect the validity of the Long Stay Visas (LTVs) issued to Hindu Pakistani nationals earlier. Mohite said a major concern for the police administration is the welfare and future of the two young children left behind by the couple. "We are trying to find out who will take care of them."

Long-term, diplomatic and official visas remain valid for now without restrictions. (Long-term visas include those issued to Hindu Pakistani nationals).

Intel Shares Lists Of Pak Citizens Present In Delhi
New Delhi: Delhi Police verified around 2,000 Pakistani visitors who were said to be present in the national capital and ensured that those without a long-term visa were on their way out, sources said on Monday. A majority of those present in Delhi left via Punjab and other borders by Monday evening. A coordinated operation was run by the 'Pakistan cell' in the special branch and intelligence wing of Delhi Police, along with local police personnel in all districts of Delhi over the last two days. This action followed the revocation of visas for Pakistani nationals after a recent directive from the Centre, prompted by the Pahalgam attack. Intelligence agencies shared two lists of 3,000 and 2,000 Pakistani citizens potentially present in Delhi. There are various names overlapping in these lists, so each name is being verified individually and their status recorded.

Elaborating on the measures, a senior officer said: "District DCPs received lists of Pakistani nationals residing in their areas, and teams were then dispatched to visit their residences, check their documents, and ask them to leave the country voluntarily. The SHOs were asked to ascertain the legal status of people in their jurisdiction and submit a report." Around 50 Pakistani nationals were traced in central Delhi localities and 27 in the north. "Many of those who landed in Delhi were contacted, and they said that they went to other places like Bhopal, Mumbai, etc., to meet their relatives and acquaintances," said an inspector. The verification process was strict in areas of southeast Delhi, northeast Delhi, and north and central Delhi, officers said. Many visited the special branch office to inquire about their exit forms. Sources said those who failed to leave voluntarily or did not have a long-term visa would be subject to deportation proceedings. "Law enforcement agencies have been instructed to take swift action against those who do not comply with the orders. In addition, guest houses, lodges and hotels have been directed to submit detailed lists of Pakistani nationals staying at their establishments. This move is intended to ensure no individual escapes scrutiny by relocating to temporary accommodation," said a senior officer. On Friday, MHA issued an order regarding the revocation of visas of Pak nationals except for medical, diplomatic, and long-term visas, with effect from April 27, 2025. The existing medical visas shall also stand invalid after April 29. Govt later clarified that long-term visas already granted to Hindu Pakistani nationals will remain valid.

The Foreign Regional Registration Office has shared this list with a special branch of the Delhi police, which has been distributed to relevant districts for verification and identification. Hindu Pakistani nationals with Long-term Visas are exempt from this directive. The Pahalgam attack occurred around 2 pm at Baisaran meadow, marking one of the deadliest incidents in the region since the 2019 Pulwama attack that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel. The incident has triggered nationwide protests demanding stronger action against Pakistan. The victims were brutally gunned down in what has become one of the most significant terrorist attacks in the Kashmir region in recent years. The government's response includes the immediate revocation of visas for Pakistani citizens, demonstrating heightened security measures following the attack.
