Authorities in the Indian state of Maharashtra’s Thane region are investigating a woman for allegedly using fraudulent documents, including a fake identity and an Aadhaar (national ID) card, to procure a visa to Pakistan.

The woman at the center of the investigation has been identified as Nagma Noor Maksood Ali, who allegedly used the alias Sanam Khan Rukh.

In 2021, Nagma reportedly befriended a man named Babar Bashir Ahmed from Abbottabad, Pakistan on Facebook. They later married online in February 2024.

Nagma is said to have applied for a Pakistani visa using the alias Sanam Khan Rukh. She returned to India on July 17, which raised suspicions about the authenticity of her documents.
