Rizwanaben Tatariya, who hails from Karachi in Pakistan, was found living in Lodhika taluka of Rajkot district since July 1999, the crime branch said in a statement.
Her husband, Munaf Tatariya, a resident of Rajkot district, met her during a visit to Karachi on a work visa in 1992 and married her. The couple had a son, Zeeshan.
While her husband returned to India in 1994, Rizwanaben and Zeeshan came to the country on a joint Pakistani passport on July 30, 1999, and never returned to Pakistan, the statement said, according to reports from PTI.
In 2021, Zeeshan, 29, illegally married a local woman, and they had a son in September 2022, the police said.
As Rizwanaben, Zeeshan, and the child are Pakistani nationals living illegally in India, they were detained for further action, the statement said.
