Seema Haider, a woman from Pakistan, fell in love with a young man from India while playing the mobile game PUBG. She crossed the border illegally to meet him in India. This incident has sparked discussions in both countries, and the police are currently investigating the case.
Against this backdrop, a collage of images showing Seema Haider’s current photo and an old image is extensively shared on social media, claiming that the woman in the army uniform in the photo is Seema Haider and that she is an army officer in Pakistan.
The text embedded in the image reads: “लीजिए मिलिए यह रही आपकी असली सीमा हैदर भौजी | सामिया रहमान जो पाक आर्मी की मेंबर प्रमोट होकर पाक इंटेलिजेंस ब्यूरो में आई” (English translation: Come meet, here is your real Seema Haider Bhauji. Samia Rehman came to the Pak Intelligence Bureau after being promoted as a member of the Pak Army)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE.
Running a Reverse Image Search, our team found an article that identified the woman in the viral image as Tamil Nadu’s first female police officer, SI Usharani Narendra, during her appointment in 1973. In 2021, she was specially invited to the Police Museum’s inauguration ceremony by Chief Minister M K Stalin.
We tracked down a photo of the same woman in The Times of India website in 2021. According to the report, her name is Usharani Narendra, and she is one of the first 21 women to become a Sub-Inspector (SI) in India. In 2021, she was specially invited to the inauguration ceremony of the Tamil Nadu Police Museum, where she had the opportunity to take a photo with Chief Minister MK Stalin. Her appointment as an SI dates back to 1973, and prior to that, she served as Indira Gandhi’s chief security officer during the latter’s visit to Tamil Nadu.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that the woman seen wearing the army uniform in the viral post is not Seema Haider.
