Ghulam Haider, the husband of Seema Haider, the Pakistani national who illegally entered India in May last year to marry Sachin Meena, an Indian she met online, filed a complaint in a Noida court this week accusing Seema and her partner Sachin of “cheating,” according to The Times of India report.
Represented by his Indian lawyer Momin Malik, Ghulam Haider has initiated legal proceedings against the couple under CrPC's Section 156 (3). According to the TOI report, Momin claimed that Seema had not finalised her divorce from Ghulam Haider, rendering her marriage to Sachin invalid.

During the hearing on Thursday, Momin argued that Seema had identified Ghulam Haider as her husband in her bail application following her arrest for illegally entering India, despite publicly claiming to be married to Sachin.
He said the court issued a notice to the Noida police, directing them to submit a report by April 18. Seema and Sachin were apprehended by Noida police in Haryana’s Ballabhgarh on July 3 last year under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act and IPC Section 120B (criminal conspiracy). They were later released on bail on July 7. Sachin’s father was also arrested but granted bail later.
