Raising suspicion, a disturbing video has gone viral, where Pakistani men from the Jhakrani tribe have issued daunting threats of rape and murder targeting Hindu women in Sindh, Pakistan. These threats have been made conditional on India's refusal to return Seema Haider, who was apprehended for illegally infiltrating into India on July 4th. She has reiterated her intense wish to stay in India.

The chilling video displaying Pakistani men from the Jhakrani tribe in Balochistan audaciously issuing threats to Hindu women was shared on Twitter by @maheshmvasu on July 11th. In his post, he describes how members of the Baloch Jhakrani tribe have issued death threats and warned of potential sexual assault of Hindus in Sindh if India does not send back their daughter-in-law, #SeemaHaider, along with her children.

This provocative video was originally shared by Awaz Television Network, a local Sindh television channel, on Facebook on July 10th. In the video, the armed Pakistani men, with their faces concealed, introduce themselves as part of the Jhakrani tribe and demand that the Indian government return Seema Haider to Pakistan. They then proceed to issue exceedingly disturbing threats, indicating they would attack every Hindu woman in Sindh, Pakistan, if their demands are not met.

Seema Haider became a point of interest after she was detained on July 4th for entering India illegally. She was later granted bail on July 7th. Seema, with her four children, had arrived in India via Nepal roughly a month ago to join her lover, Sachin, based in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. She has asserted her desire to remain in India, even amidst these threats.

Adding a twist to the tale, Seema Haider's first husband is Gulam Haider Jhakrani, from the same tribe threatening the women. Gulam Haider has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian government to repatriate his wife and children to Pakistan.

The story further complicates as Noida Police neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of Seema, the 27-year-old Pakistani woman, being a spy. They also revealed that Seema Ghulam Haidar had figured out her route into India via a YouTube video. Allegedly, she ventured to Sharjah, then Nepal, finally making her way to Greater Noida by bus.

Seema's romantic involvement with Sachin began in 2019 while they were playing PUBG. They maintained contact via Instagram, WhatsApp chat, and video calls. They first met physically in Nepal, where they surreptitiously got married. Seema then returned to Pakistan, sold some property, and arranged flight tickets for her four children and herself.

In an interesting turn of events, Sachin, a 23-year-old grocery store worker, met Seema in Nepal. They later moved to India. However, their plans unraveled when the lawyer they hired to legalize their marriage alerted the police.

The Noida Police, upon receiving information from the lawyer, became alert and started investigating Seema and Sachin. This led to their arrest and the unraveling of this unusual love story, leading to speculations of a possible espionage plot.

In her defense, Seema Haider expressed that she genuinely loves Sachin and desires to stay with him in India along with her four children. She has stated that she does not wish to return to Pakistan, fearing for her life.

Sachin Meena, on the other hand, has appealed to the government to allow Seema to live with him, stating that they got married in Nepal in March this year.

Meanwhile, Gulam Haider, Seema Haider's first husband, currently residing in Saudi Arabia, has released a video pleading to the Modi government to ensure the safe return of his wife and children to Pakistan.

Seema Haider's journey from meeting Sachin Meena online while playing PUBG, to their decision to live together, and Seema's subsequent illegal entry into India, raises numerous questions about their intentions. The couple's contact with an advocate, who they informed about their plan, only led to further suspicions when Seema's brother was revealed to be a Pakistani Army personnel. Sachin's haste to complete the process and Seema's insistence on touring Delhi led to the advocate's suspicions and eventually their arrest.

India's vulnerable spot: The shift of Nepal into a center for trickery, terrorism, and spying across borders

In a plot seemingly lifted straight from a Cold War thriller, the hushed alleyways of Nepal have seemingly been converted into a melting pot of deception, terrorism, and cross-border spying. An echo from the past, this network uncannily recalls the famed tale of the German spy 'Mata Hari'. The tools may have evolved, but honey-trapping and espionage remain as potent as ever.

A peculiar incident recently shook the headlines, the case of Pakistani woman Seema Gulam Haider, age 27. Striking a chord with the tale of a modern-day Mata Hari, Seema illicitly traversed India's borders through Nepal. Her destination? Greater Noida, a suburban outcrop of New Delhi, to marry Sachin, a 22-year-old she met online on PUBG-Battlegrounds in 2019.

Deftly maneuvering through social platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp for their continued interaction, Seema, a mother of four, audaciously sourced her route to India through a YouTube video. A journey that allegedly took her through Sharjah, Nepal, before she rode a bus to Greater Noida. The plot thickens as the police disclosed that Sachin met Seema in Nepal, their rendezvous lasting a whole week at a hotel.

After her short sojourn in Nepal, Seema reportedly returned to Pakistan, only to make a bold return to Kathmandu on a tourist visa with her four minor children. However, her cover was blown when a local lawyer tipped off the Greater Noida police about the foreign national's presence.

Seema claims that her expedition was solely driven by love. But the recovery of three Aadhaar cards, six passports, a family registration certificate, and a Kathmandu to Delhi bus ticket from her possession paints a suspicious picture that has the security agencies on high alert.

As the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that Sachin himself had developed doubts. Seema's insistence on sightseeing in Delhi, her brother's alleged connection with the Pakistan Army, and her children referring to her as their ‘sister’ raised many a red flag.

Such occurrences are far from isolated. Several instances have been reported of Pakistani spies drawing in Indians through social media or online gaming platforms, setting 'love traps'.

Earlier in the year, another case emerged when a Pakistani woman named Iqra Jeevani, a resident of Sindh, married a security guard named Mulayam Singh Yadav from Uttar Pradesh. She, too, infiltrated Indian territory via the loose India-Nepal border. It was only when Iqra attempted to contact her family in Pakistan that the central agencies caught wind of the situation. Suspicions of an espionage ring quickly surfaced.

Adding to the growing list of incidents, on August 8, 2022, a Pakistani woman and two others were apprehended while trying to enter India through the Indo-Nepal border in Bihar. Their intent was to meet her lover in Hyderabad, India. In a narrative strikingly similar to the one involving Seema Haider, this woman, named Khadija Noor from Faisalabad, and her associates Mohammad and Jeevan were arrested while trying to infiltrate India through the porous Bihar-Nepal border. It's becoming increasingly evident that love, in these cases, might just be a pawn in the grand chessboard of espionage.

As per the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS), Pakistan's notorious intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), has notoriously used Nepal as a launchpad for seeding terrorists of Khalistani, Kashmiri, Pakistani, Afghan, and Arab origins into India with the intent to orchestrate violent attacks.

The Pakistani Embassy in Nepal's capital Kathmandu unusually hosts an extensive number of diplomatic personnel and auxiliary staff, most suspected to be undercover operatives of the ISI. This intelligence agency has capitalized on Nepal's lenient visa regulations and the open border with India.

From the 1980s onwards, Pakistan's agencies have exploited Nepal's lax border control to infiltrate spies, weapons, counterfeit money, and narcotics into India, in addition to facilitating illegal migration.

Adding a suspicious undertone is the unusually high frequency of four weekly PIA flights from Dubai to this thinly populated sector, despite average occupancy as low as merely thirty passengers.

Beyond the conventional honey-trap technique of utilizing attractive women with fictitious Indian identities to ensnare military personnel, the ISI has also reportedly deployed spies disguised as Non-Residential Indian (NRI) grooms. These 'grooms' entice Indian women into marriages to gain access to India's confidential information.

This approach was the strategy of Pakistani spy Ahsan Ul Haq, detained in Jalandhar in 2017. Holding an Austrian passport, Ahsan met Balwinder Kaur, a Sikh woman from Mukundpur village, on Facebook. Post marrying Kaur, he also managed to secure an Indian Aadhaar card and a PAN card, even purchasing land near Jalandhar using forged documents, until his arrest following a tip-off.

Chinese spies have also reportedly used the Nepal passage to infiltrate India. In February, Wang Goujun, a 26-year-old Chinese national, was accused of spying on India after entering without a valid visa via Nepal. From China, Goujun first traveled to Thailand, then Nepal, and finally entered India.

On February 14, 2023, he reached Delhi by bus, touring "various locations," including some "key installations." Goujun was apprehended at the Gaurifanta-Nepal border in Lakhimpur Kheri by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) on February 17 while attempting to return to Nepal.

Prior to this, in October 2022, the Delhi Police detained a Chinese woman, Cai Ruo, from Hainan province, living in India under a false identity and allegedly engaged in espionage activities. Claiming to be a Nepalese citizen named Dolma Lama and a practicing Buddhist, during questioning it was discovered that she didn't even speak Nepalese.

Indian investigating officers described Cai Ruo as a "highly trained and shrewd individual who attempted to mislead the investigators by asserting that she had fled China to evade assassins sent by the Chinese Communist leaders." Operating under the guise of a Buddhist monk, she evaded surveillance while allegedly conspiring against India, armed with fraudulent documents and ID cards.

Leaked US cables published by WikiLeaks have previously exposed how Pakistan-based terrorist groups and the ISI transformed Nepal into a hotbed of anti-India activities, from where substantial quantities of explosives were smuggled into India.

These cables, endorsed by then US Ambassador to India, Frank Wisner, stated, “Kathmandu was consistently chosen as the pivotal point to deploy men and material and to orchestrate explosions in India....”
