(X/@OsintUpdates)An Indian Sikh woman who travelled to Pakistan as part of a pilgrims’ group earlier this month has converted to Islam and married a Pakistani man she had known through social media for nearly a decade, Lahore police said on Saturday.Sarabjeet Kaur, 48, from Amanipur village in Kapurthala district, was among nearly 2,000 Indian Sikh pilgrims who arrived in Pakistan on November 4 to participate in Guru Nanak Dev’s birth anniversary celebrations. When the group returned to India on 13 November, Kaur was reported missing.According to Lahore police, Kaur married Nasir Hussain, a resident of Farooqabad in Sheikhupura district, just a day after reaching Pakistan. A senior officer said she has taken the name Noor after converting to Islam.“The couple has gone into hiding and police are searching for them,” the officer told PTI, declining to comment on reports of intelligence agencies detaining the pair.A copy of the nikah nama, accessed by PTI, confirms the marriage. In a video circulating on social media, Kaur claims she married Hussain of her own free will, adding that she had been in touch with him on social media for nine years. She also stated she is a divorcee and wanted to start a new life with him.Appearing before a judicial magistrate, Kaur reiterated that she was not abducted and was “happily married”. She said she brought nothing from India apart from the clothes she was wearing.Indian investigation underwayPunjab Police in India said an investigation into her disappearance is ongoing. Kapurthala ASP Dheerendra Verma said there is no official confirmation yet regarding her conversion. Officials confirmed she received her passport in January 2024.Story continues below this adAnother officer claimed Kaur faces three previous cases of cheating and fraud—two in Kapurthala and one in Bathinda—though court proceedings in these cases are “almost over.”In the video, Kaur alleges that unknown individuals entered Hussain’s home after the marriage, misbehaved with the couple and threatened them with false cases, prompting the two to flee. She appealed to the Pakistani authorities for protection.Not the first such caseThis incident echoes a similar 2018 case involving Kiran Bala from Hoshiarpur, who went missing during a pilgrimage to Pakistan and later converted to Islam, marrying a Pakistani man and adopting the name Amna Bibi. She had left behind her three children in India.Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) officials said they only forward lists of pilgrims and that background checks are the government’s responsibility.(With Inputs from PTI)Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Indian womanPakistan
