An Indian woman who left her husband and home at Qasba village on the Line of Control (LoC) to elope with her paramour to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) returned along with her minor child after crossing the fences along the LoC from the Kerni sector in Poonch last night.

Her paramour didn’t return from PoK. Nageena Bi (30), a mother of four and wife of Muhammad Afzal of Qasba village, along with her minor child had traversed to PoK by crossing fencing from a forward area at Qasba village on March 28.

Her lover Muhammad Bashir (24) belonged to the same village. It is said that Nageena returned because her lover ditched her.

After getting the information about her return, a police team from Poonch rushed to the spot and arrested her.

During preliminary questioning, Nageena has divulged that her lover Bashir took her to his maternal uncle Rashid Ahmed’s house at Mang Pathri village in PoK, said one of the investigating officers.

After getting suspicious about the nationality, the Pakistani police summoned the lovers but the duo managed to fool them.

After this incident, the couple developed some differences and they had brawls on a regular basis.

“Her lover reportedly told Nageena to return to India if she didn’t want to live with him. She in a fit of anger took her baby and returned back to her village after crossing the LoC last night,” the investigator said.

The Poonch police has registered a case against the woman for illegally crossing over to PoK.
