Teenager Hindu girl detained at Jaipur airport attempting to travel to Pakistan to meet 'insta friend'

In yet another cross-border love story, security personnel apprehended a 16-year-old Hindu girl attempting to fly to Lahore, Pakistan, to meet a boy she had befriended online. As per a ToI report, the Hindu girl drew the attention of airport security at Jaipur International Airport when she was discovered inquiring for a ticket to Lahore. She, on the other hand, did not have a passport, visa, or any other documentation with her.

Swiftly, airport security handed her over to the airport police, where she initially identified herself as "Gazal Mohammad," a verified Pakistani national who had arrived in India three years ago with her aunt. However, she claimed that she decided to return to Pakistan due to her aunt's pressure to marry her cousin in Sikar.

Authorities were alarmed by the incident, especially given the recent case of a woman from Alwar district who had traveled to Pakistan to marry her lover. The Jaipur Police promptly alerted the state intelligence, prompting senior officials, including DCP (East) Gyan Chandra Yadav and ACP (Malviya Nagar) Chiranji Lal Meena, to join the investigation.


Efforts were made to locate the girl's aunt in Sikar, but by 6 pm, it was evident that no woman by that description or a girl named Gazal lived in the mentioned village. Upon further questioning, the girl finally confessed that her real identity was not Gazal; instead, she revealed that she resided in Chomu near Jaipur and attended school with her sister.

The girl admitted to having connected with a person named 'Aslam' from Lahore through Instagram, who had advised her to use the alias 'Gazal' while booking a flight to Pakistan. Authorities suspect that the boy had influenced and coached her in this plan via social media. However, the girl did not express a clear desire to return to her parents.

Officials are investigating the two boys who assisted the girl in traveling to Jaipur, both of whom were acquainted with her through social media channels.
