Married couple Muhammad Singh Yadav from India and Iqra Jeewani from Pakistan were both arrested in Bangalore for forging fake documents and citizenship cards to help Jeewani stay in the country.
Yadav (21) was working as a security guard at an IT organization in Bangalore, while Jeewani was a student from Hyderabad, Pakistan. Both met in 2020 while playing the online game Ludo where they fell in love, and then were in a long distance relationship.
However during this time, Jeewani was being pressurized by her parents to get married, but the two of them knew that given the political tensions between India and Pakistan, they won’t be able to be together.
Both Jeewani and Yadav decided to travel to Nepal together where they got married in a Hindu ceremony, according to the police.
In order to help Jeewani stay in India with proper documents, Yadav got her a fake Indian citizenship card so that she may stay with him in Bangalore.
The police informed BBC that they had traced the couple after Jeewani made a lot of calls during the day to her mother in Pakistan. After further investigation, Jeewani was declared guilty and handed over to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office on 20 January. She was deported back to Pakistan in February while Yadav is still in jail.
The BBC got in touch with Yadav’s family, who said that the couple had committed no crime, but had only fallen in love.
“We don’t care if she’s Muslim or Pakistani, she’s our daughter-in-law. We’ll take good care of her,” said Yadav’s mother.
Meanwhile, Jeewani’s family had confirmed that their daughter had reached home, but refused to speak further on the matter.

Feminist social movement Aurat March has unveiled their theme for this year: Feminism in the time of crisis.
The movement elaborated on the significance behind this theme on Twitter, revealing that it will address the ongoing security, climate and economic issues currently plaguing the country.
“We demand a feminist response to these crisis: one that centers the voices and experiences of one of the most affected and prioritizes justice and equity for all.
These responses must be democratic and equitable. A Pakistan plagued by regional, ethnic and class inequity is unacceptable. We cannot afford to ignore the intersectional impacts of these crises any longer.
Pakistan is plagued with challenges on multiple fronts including security and safety crisis, economic crisis, climate crisis and a relentless crisis of gendered violence. We know that these issues are deeply rooted in the patriarchal system that prioritize masculine politics and ignores the needs and rights of gender minorities and marginalized communities.
It’s time to demand a better future for all.
Join us on 8th March.”
The Barkhan tragedy has taken a twist on Wednesday night when an autopsy report revealed that the body believed to be that of Giran Naz, a woman allegedly imprisoned in a private jail in Balochistan, is of an unknown teenager.
Giran Niaz with her daughter and four sons were recovered alive in the late hours of Wednesday night after three separate search operations were conducted in different locations. The autopsy conducted on the female corpse recovered from a well, thought to be that of Naz, showed that the body was of a young woman aged around 18 years, who had been raped and shot in the head thrice.
Police on Wednesday had earlier arrested Sardar Khetran from Quetta on charges of killing Naz and her two sons.
Giran Naz along with her children is in protective custody and will be handed over to representatives of the Marri tribe.
What is the back story?
Sardar Abdur Rehman Khethran, 64, head of the Khethran tribe in Balochistan’s Barkhan, allegedly runs a private jail in the province, and the three bodies recovered in Haji Koat were imprisoned in the same private jail. Khethran wanted Mohammad Marri, who worked as a guard for him, to testify against his son Inaam Shah in a fake police case about a property clash. Marri refused to testify against Inaam after which Khethran imprisoned eight members of his family in his private jail including his wife Giran Naz Bibi, six sons Mohamad Nawaz, Abdul Majid, Abdul Qadir, Abdul Sattar, Abdul Ghaffar, Mohammad Imran and a teenage daughter Farzana.
Khethran also had Marri arrested, however, he was released after spending three and a half years in jail. After getting released, he started to look for ways to release his family from the private jail.
Marri, with the help of Inaam Shah, smuggled a cellphone inside the private jail where his wife and kids were being detained.
A video of Giran Naz Bibi was recorded while she was carrying a Holy Quran. She claimed in the video that Sardar Khethran is holding them captive.
Call it what you want – gol gappa, paani puri, phuchka or the like, this street-side snack is a favorite for many across the subcontinent. But the beloved snack often ends up being the subject of many food experiments.
For example, a video posted on twitter by a food blogger shows how a good old gol gappa is now being made into ice-cream.
Goll-Gappay is everyone’s favorite street food and if you are not a gol –gappa or pani puri fan, we think you’ve never had one. After shopping in busy markets, Goll-Gappay is the first thing in every person mind. But the standard sweet and sour Goll- Gappay is being usurped by ice cream goll-gappay.
The video shows the cart owner making goll-gappay for a customer with vanilla ice cream and also gola kanda ice cream.
The video went viral on social media after being shared by an Indian channel. After the video went viral social media users are saying NO to this rather horrible combination.
What are your thoughts on this food fusion? Pass or fail?
