An Indian woman has travelled to Pakistan in order to marry and stay with a man from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa after their Facebook friendship turned into a love affair, security sources confirmed on Sunday.
Thirty-five-year-old Anju, a resident of the Indian city of Delhi, reportedly followed her heart as she embarked upon the journey to the country a few days ago to see her 25-year-old lover, Nasrullah, who hails from the scenic region of Upper Dir.
Their virtual bond blossomed into love, prompting her to make the daring journey into Pakistan, a usually unlikely love match. However, neither of them confirmed if they have tied the knot yet.
In a statement, Anju declared her love for Nasrullah, saying their friendship on Facebook between her and Nasrullah had indeed turned into love and now she could not imagine her life without him. Meanwhile, security sources said that investigations were under way regarding the friendship between Anju and Nasrullah.

The district police officer of Upper Dir, Mushtaq Khan, also confirmed the woman’s arrival.
“Investigations are being carried out regarding the girl, and she is currently under police custody. Security agencies are conducting inquiries, and as soon as the situation becomes clear,” he told the media.
Interestingly, the latest incident of purported online romance comes to the fore amid a similar unfolding story between Seema Ghulam Haider, 27, and Sachin Meena, 22, who met through the popular online game PUBG.
Seema had fled to India to be with her partner along with her four children.
The love story captured attention in India after the couple ended up in jail. Seema entered India illegally in May, along with her four young children, and they had been staying with Sachin in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, for over a month, according to the police.
The couple was also arrested, and a court remanded them in jail for 14 days before they were released. The couple has expressed their desire to get married and live together. The police are conducting a detailed investigation into the case.
