Jammu, May 1: After the Indian Government cancelled all kinds of visas of Pakistani nationals currently in India, Minal Khan, a Pakistani national who was married to a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) constable in Jammu was granted a last-minute relief by the J&K High Court. Khan's advocate, Ankur Sharma, told ANI that due to not having a long-term visa, Meenal Khan was deported to the Attari border.

Advocate Sharma also mentioned that Khan, who entered India on a visiting visa and had applied for a long-term visa after marrying Constable Munir Ahmed, was sent back amid tightened security measures. "Munir Ahmed, who is a CRPF constable, got married to Pakistani national Meenal Khan 2.5 months ago. She came to India on a visiting visa and then applied for a long-term visa. After the Pahalgam attack, in the order issued by the Indian government, two types of people were exempted, one is diplomatic visa holders, and the second is long-term visa holders. She had appeared for the interview for a long-term visa, and positive recommendations were sent to MHA for giving her a long-term visa," Ankur Sharma said. Sheena Naz Visa Case: Delhi High Court Refuses To Entertain Pakistani Woman's Plea for Long Term Visa in India.

She reached Jammu yesterday around 3 am," he said. Seema Haider To Be Sent Back to Pakistan?
