A Pakistani woman, Sabba Farhat, was arrested in Meerut for allegedly creating fake documents to obtain Indian passports for herself and her daughter, raising concerns about sleeper cells linked to ISI.
In a recent case, Sabba Farhat, a Pakistani citizen born in 1988, was arrested by police in Meerut for allegedly forging documents to acquire Indian citizenship. Having moved to India on a long-term visa after marrying in Pakistan, she has lived in the country for over thirty years without Indian nationality. The arrest followed a complaint that revealed discrepancies in her voter ID and other documents, indicating potential fraudulent activity.
Farhat, along with her Pakistani-born daughter Anam, is accused of using forged documents to obtain Indian passports despite not having Indian citizenship for the child. The investigation was triggered by a local woman's complaint which uncovered that Farhat had registered under multiple identities, creating two separate entries in the voter list. This fraudulent documentation reportedly facilitated their travels to several countries, including Pakistan, raising serious concerns about the implications of such acts on national security.
The situation highlights potential links to sleeper cells and broader issues of document fraud within marginalized communities in India. Authorities are increasing scrutiny over such individuals to ensure the integrity of citizenship and residency laws in a country grappling with cross-border tensions and terrorism concerns, notably those associated with the ISI in Pakistan. The case may prompt further investigations into the networks that facilitate illegal residency and movement between India and Pakistan.
