The duo started living together in Ahmedabad and even after her VISA expired Shirina did not return to Bangladesh. Later, she had a child with Joshi and she managed to get fake identity documents as the wife of Hitesh Joshi. She was arrested on Thursday night and presented before a court today and has been remanded in five-day police custody,” the official added.
