Jaipur Airport police on Friday held a 16-year-old Pakistani girl who failed to produce a passport and visa for booking a ticket back to her country, said the official familiar with the matter.

According to the police, the girl identified as Ghazal Parveen is a resident of Pakistan’s Lahore. She arrived in India three years ago with her aunt. Both of them have been staying in Sikar’s Shrimadhopur since then.

However, on Friday she visited the airport with two other men to get a ticket as she wanted to return to her country.

The station house officer (SHO) of the Jaipur Airport Police Station, Dikpal Singh said, “We have also held those two men. The girl said she travelled to India three years ago on a flight. But she has no idea how her aunt visited the country without any documents. We are still interrogating the girl. Her aunt will also be questioned later.”

India's Anju marries Pak FB friend

The recent incident follows two similar cases of individuals crossing borders to enter neighbouring countries. On Tuesday, a 34-year-old Indian mother of two, Anju, married her 29-year-old Pakistani Facebook friend Nasrullah. She travelled from India to Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province via the Wagah-Attari border near Amritsar on July 21 to meet Nasrullah, whom she connected with on Facebook in 2019.

Anju, who had previously converted to Christianity, was born in Kailor village, Uttar Pradesh, and resided in the Alwar district of Rajasthan. In 2007, she married Arvind, and they have been living together since then, raising a 15-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.
