Pak-bound Mysuru woman gets stuck at border
Mysuru: A Mysuru woman, who married a Pakistan citizen eight years ago, has returned to Bengaluru from
Attari-Wagah Border
as her husband didn't come there to pick up their three children. The woman had reached the border after visiting Mysuru to attend a wedding along with their three children, who are Pakistan citizens.
Ramsha, a Mysuru resident, married her relative Mohammed Farook, a Pakistan national. She recently arrived in India with the children to attend a family wedding scheduled for May 11. However, she decided to return to Pakistan following the govt's decision to send all Pakistan nationals staying in India post-Pahalgam terror attack. However, she could not enter Pakistan as her Indian passport expired.
Her three children, aged 8, 7, and 4, are Pakistan citizens. "Their visa is valid till July. She arrived in India to attend her sister's marriage in Mysuru city," her relatives said, adding: "Her application for a tatkal passport was approved. We are confident that it will reach us soon. Once she gets the passport, she will return to Pakistan with the children."
At the Attari-Wagah Border, Pakistan officials reportedly said they would allow the children to return to Pakistan only if their father arrives there and takes them into his custody. However, her husband wants his wife to return along with the children, and hence she returned to Bengaluru to renew her passport to go back Pakistan.
