“The Pakistani woman’s four children — aged seven years and below — will be produced in a competent court here and further action would be taken on the court’s direction,” Khan said.
An FIR in the case has been lodged at the local Rabupura police station under provisions of the Foreigners Act, the Passport (Entry into India) Act and section 120B (party to criminal conspiracy) and 34 (act done by several people with common intention), he said.
