The 34-year-old woman from Rajasthan who had abandoned her husband and two children and fled to Pakistan earlier this year to marry another man has returned to India, as per visuals published by ANI on Wednesday. "I am happy...I have no other comments," she told the media in Punjab's Amritsar.
On July 25, Anju married her 29-year-old Facebook friend, Nasrullah, a resident of Upper Dir district in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. After arriving in Pakistan, she had converted to Islam and was renamed Fatima. Last month, in an interaction with news agency PTI, Nasrullah had said Anju would visit India after obtaining clearance from the Pakistani government.
He had further said that the purpose of Anju's India visit would be to meet her children. "She will certainly come back as Pakistan is her home now," Nasrullah had stated. Anju will visit India as soon as relevant documents for her travel across Wagah Border are ready, her Pakistani 'husband' had informed. In August, the Pakistani government extended her visa by a year.
