Uttar Pradesh has reiterated that it would not be appropriate to say if Pakistani citizen Seema Haider, who entered India illegally in May and is staying with her partner in Noida, is a spy "unless we have enough proof". On Thursday, it also said that it is not going to deport Seema Haider till the investigation is over. 

Seema (30) and her Indian partner Sachin Meena (22) were questioned by the Uttar Pradesh Police's Anti-Terrorist Squad on Monday and Tuesday. They were arrested by the local police in Greater Noida on July 4 but granted bail by a court on July 7.

Amid her questioning, the UP Police is preparing to file a charge sheet and also investigate other cases including a passport without a visa. The police have almost completed their investigation in which it has become clear that Seema Haider came to India via Nepal to be with Sachin whom she met online while playing PUBG game.

On the ATS questioning, the state police said two video cassettes, four mobile phones, five "authorised" Pakistani passports and one "unused passport" with an incomplete name and address, and an identity card have been received from Seema Haider.

Evidence of Seema Haider being a spy has not yet been found, but what has come to be known from her during interrogation, further information will be taken. And those points will also be investigated.
