Faiz, a native of Swat Valley in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, had allegedly entered India through the Nepal border and reached Hyderabad to meet his wife, who was pregnant with his second child.
The Pakistani national was staying illegally for the last one month, allegedly with the help of his in-laws.
Faiz, an employee at a garment company in Dubai, had met the woman from Hyderabad in 2019. They married the same year and have a three-year-old son.
