Seema Haider’s story has been in the headlines from social media to news channels before. She connected with Sachin Meena, a resident of Greater Noida, through the online game PUBG and a love affair developed between the two. After this, Seema came to India via Nepal with her four children. Now she is living with Sachin in Noida and recently both of them have also had a child.
Despite nationwide protests, Seema Haider’s lawyer AP Singh is hopeful that she will be allowed to stay in India. AP Singh claimed that she is no longer a Pakistani citizen. Advocate AP Singh said, “Seema is no longer a Pakistani citizen. She married Sachin Meena, a resident of Greater Noida, and recently gave birth to their daughter Bharti Meena. Her citizenship is now linked to her Indian husband and hence the Center’s directive should not apply to her.”
Seema Haider’s lawyer AP Singh said that Seema is very upset and sad after learning about the Pahalgam attack. We all strongly condemn this attack. He said that Seema reached Nepal from Pakistan after adopting Sanatan Dharma. She married Sachin Meena in Nepal and came to India and got married with full rituals. After marriage, she gave birth to a daughter last month. The decision taken by the Indian government to suspend SAARC visa is praiseworthy. This is a decision against terrorism.

Seema is fully following the orders given by the court during her bail. Under those orders, Seema is living in her in-laws’ house in Rabupura. She has faith in the law. She is fully following the orders of the Uttar Pradesh government, the Indian government and the court. He said that Seema will continue to follow all the orders in the same way in future as well.

Terrorist attack on tourists, brutal murder of 26
On Tuesday April22, 2025 , terrorists brutally killed 26 tourists by firing indiscriminately at them in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The terrorists, dressed in army uniform, first asked the tourists about their religion in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley, checked their identity cards and then shot them saying they were Hindus. Most of the 26 dead are tourists, while two are foreigners and two are local citizens.
The lush green fields of Baisaran Valley, famous for its greenery till Monday, turned red with blood on Tuesday afternoon. Bodies of innocent people were lying everywhere and there were weeping family members. This horrific scene refreshed the wounds of the Pulwama attack on 14 April 2019, where terrorists carried out a suicide attack. The terrorists did something similar in Pahalgam, where they first asked people about their religion and then after being assured, fired bullets indiscriminately, in which 26 people lost their lives.
This cowardly and inhuman act of terrorists has left only signs of terror in the tourist-packed Baisaran valley. Till now, such a big attack on tourists had not happened in Kashmir. Last year, on the night of 18 May, terrorists attacked two places. One of these was near Pahalgam and the other was in an open tourist camp.
Jammu and Kashmir government will give 10 lakh rupees to the family of each deceased
The Jammu and Kashmir government announced to give an ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh to the family of each person killed in the Pahalgam terror attack. Along with this, the state government will give an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh to the seriously injured and Rs 1 lakh to the minor injured.
