Pakistani Woman Seeks Justice: Nikita from Karachi claims that her husband fraudulently sent her to Pakistan and is marrying her for the second time in Delhi. The plea for justice from PM Modi has made the case an international controversy. Will deportation and investigation reveal the truth?
New Delhi. Relations between India and Pakistan are always in the news, but this time the matter is not about politics but about a painful marriage. Nikita Nagdev, a resident of Karachi, alleges that her husband, who lives in India, is fraudulently sending her to Pakistan and is now preparing for a second marriage in Delhi. Nikita has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for justice through social media and an emotional video. This matter is becoming increasingly viral on social platforms and is raising serious questions on the rights of women in both the countries.
Was Nikita deceived from day one?
Nikita said in her video message that she got married as per Hindu rituals in Karachi on 26 January 2020. The groom was Vikram Nagdev, a man of Pakistani origin living in Indore. Vikram lived in India on a long-term visa, and a month after the marriage, on 26 February, he brought Nikita with him to India. Everything went well for the first few days, but according to Nikita the situation gradually started changing. Making the excuse of lockdown, giving technical reasons for visa and giving many false reasons, he was finally released at Attari border on 9 July 2020. Nikita alleges that somehow she was forcefully sent back to Pakistan.
Video appeal: “If justice is not provided today, women’s faith will be broken”
As soon as she reached Karachi, Nikita realized that her husband had other intentions. For several months she begged Vikram to call her back, but according to Nikita, every time the answer was the same – “Don’t bother me.” In her video she said, “If I don’t get justice today, many women will not have the courage to raise their voice against anyone.” Nikita’s video created a stir on the internet. Many women’s rights groups, legal organizations and social media users came out in her support.
Did the husband have an affair with any relative?
Nikita has made another shocking claim. According to her, when she first returned to Pakistan, her husband was having an affair with one of her relatives. When she told this to her in-laws, the reply she received was: “Boys have affairs, nothing can be done.” This reaction was no less than a shock for Nikita.
Was COVID-19 just a reason or an excuse?
During the lockdown, Vikram told Nikita that she cannot stay in India right now due to visa rules. On this pretext he was sent back. Nikita alleges that all this was a pre-planned plan. After this he continuously tried to come to India, but Vikram not only refused to help but also almost stopped talking.
Second marriage in Delhi? How did Nikita know?
Shortly after returning to Karachi, Nikita learns that Vikram is preparing for a second marriage to a woman from Delhi. She broke down after hearing this. Nikita says that she is still legally Vikram’s wife, and yet he is planning a second marriage. On January 27, 2025, he lodged a written complaint from Pakistan itself, so that the fight for justice could begin.
Does this matter come under the jurisdiction of Pakistan?
This case reached Sindhi Punch Mediation and Legal Counsel Center through Madhya Pradesh High Court. Notices were issued, hearing was held, but mediation failed. The report, dated April 30, 2025, said that since neither of them were Indian citizens, the case would fall under the jurisdiction of Pakistan. It is recommended to deport Vikram to Pakistan.
What is Indore Social Panchayat and administration doing?
In May 2025, Nikita contacted Indore Social Panchayat. The Panchayat also recommended action and deportation against Vikram. Collector Ashish Singh ordered an investigation and said that action will be taken as per the report. Will Nikita ever get justice? Or will Nikita’s story join the thousands of stories of domestic violence and betrayal that still have no ending?
