Anju returns to India after spending four months with Pakistani husband

Anju, the Indian woman who arrived in Pakistan to marry her Facebook friend, returned to India on Wednesday, Hindustan Times reported.

“I am happy…I have no other comments,” Anju told reporters after returning to her home country.

Anju returned to India through the Wagah border four months after arriving in Pakistan.

Soon after entering India, she was taken to a camp of India’s Border Security Force where she was interrogated.

In July, Anju arrived in Pakistan via the Wagah-Attari border on a Pakistani visa to meet Nasarullah, a resident of the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The two had met online.

The two married a couple of days later and Anju converted to Islam and became Fatima after the conversion.

In August, Anju said that she will return to her home country along with her husband.

“I am not a traitor and not an enemy of anyone. The media circulated rumors that I did care about my family and did not love my country, which is not true,” she stated in a video statement.

She left her husband and two children in Rajasthan’s Alwar district to unite with her Pakistani lover Nasrullah in the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
