Indian authorities arrested a Pakistani woman, Fozia alias Chanda, for allegedly crossing the border without a passport or any other travel documents in a bid to meet Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, IBN Live reported.

According to reports, Indian police allegedly arrested 27-year-old Fozia alias Chanda on Thursday from Jalandhar after she had entered India via Samjhota Express, a train service between India and Pakistan, without any valid documents, a passport or a train ticket.

The woman claimed that she came from Pakistan with a valid visa and passport; however, her documents remained with her uncle who she lost contact with while on her way.

In her statement she said she went to Indian on a 15-day visa and visited a dargah where she lost contact with her uncle.

According to reports, Fozia is a fan of Bollywood stars Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan and asked the police officials to let her catch a glimpse of them.

The woman also claimed she is from Karachi and her husband’s name is Salman Khan but apparently her Karachi address given to the police officials is ‘fake’.

The Indian police are now investigating her statements after she was handed over by railway police to Attari police.

Meanwhile, authorities in Pakistan deny having any information about Fozia. “We do not have any information on Fozia alias Chanda,” a Rangers spokesperson said, according to Express News.

Meghana | 8 years ago | Reply Dont expect Indian authorities to believe that. She was found in indian punjab, close to Gurdaspur nagar where terror attack occured 2 days back. Now every infiltrator caught will use the same excuse. I came to meet salman and got lost. Too much. @brar a week back yes he would have, Now Gurudaspur probe is on, so no.
