IN TROUBLE WITH LAW
-
IT'S as filmi as it gets. Imagine an Indian man obsessed with an online game who comes across a woman gamer from Pakistan's Karachi. They spend hours online every day, and their bond deepens to the extent that she leaves home along with her four children - to be with him. Only to be arrested by UP Police.
Seema Ghulam Haider and Sachin Meena got in touch while playing PUBG in 2019 as a dramatic love story unfolded between the two living more than 1,300 km apart.
Seema is 30 while Sachin is 25 and lives in Rabupura area of Greater Noida, where he runs a provision store.
