Want to stay with my husband, says Bangladeshi woman after landing in Noida with child
Noida, Aug 22: A Bangladeshi woman who has approached the Uttar Pradesh Police says she wants to live with her husband, who lives in Noida, but deserted her after marrying her nearly three years ago in Dhaka.
The woman identified herself as Dhaka resident Sonia Akhtar and her husband as Saurabh Kant Tiwari, who lives in Surajpur area of Central Noida.
"He is not agreeing now, he is not taking me with him to his home. I am a Bangladeshi. We got married almost three years ago. I only want to stay with my husband along with our child," Akhtar told reporters while being escorted by the police on Monday.
The police in Noida have launched an investigation into the case on the basis of her complaint.
"The Bangladesh national informed the Mahila Thana here that she got married to Saurabh Kant Tiwari, who lives in Surajpur area here but later he deserted her and came back to India. The woman also claimed that Tiwari was already married," Additional DCP (Central Noida) Rajiv Dixit said.
The police officer said the woman has provided the visa, passport details of herself and her child along with her Bangladeshi citizenship card.
"Prima facie, it appears that they both got married in Bangladesh. However, the investigation has been handed over to ACP (Women and Child Safety) so that all details of the case are seen and further action taken accordingly," Dixit said.
Tiwari worked for a private firm in Dhaka in Bangladesh from January 4, 2017 to December 24, 2021. They got married in an Islamic wedding on April 14, 2021 while he was already married to an Indian woman with whom he has two children, according to the police.
The incident has come to the fore a month-and-a-half after the Noida Police arrested Pakistani national Seema Haider who had illegally entered India through Nepal to live with her lover who stays in Greater Noida.
Haider had come to India along with her four children all below the age of 7 years in May and lived in Rabupura area in a rented accommodation secretly. She and her Indian partner Sachin Meena were arrested on July 4 but a local court granted them bail on July 7.
The duo has been living together ever since even as the Noida Police and the UP Anti-Terrorist Squad continue separate investigations into the case.

Death toll from Israeli strikes in northeast Lebanon rises from 8 to 24, Lebanese news agency says
Deir al-Balah, Nov 1: Israeli airstrikes on Friday killed at least 24 people in northeastern Lebanon, the country's news agency said, raising the death toll from eight there.
It was the latest deadly toll in the area since the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah escalated last month.
Israel's military has said that its operation in Lebanon is targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
Lebanon's state National news Agency reported four airstrikes in different villages across country's northeast, saying rescuers were still searching for survivors in Younine, a town in the Bekaa Valley, from the rubble of a targeted house.
Hussein Haj Hassan, a Lebanese lawmaker representing the region in Baalbek-Hermel region, said that 60,000 people have already fled their homes in the area due to Israeli bombardment.
