Pakistan: Hindus protest girl’s ‘abduction’ in front of Zardari House
Dadu/Pakistan: Members of the Hindu community recently demonstrated against the alleged abduction of a girl in front of Zardari House in Nawabshah region of Pakistan, media reports said on Friday.
Police claimed Shrimati Kareena had eloped with a Muslim boy for love and had contacted marriage with him in a Karachi court, reports Dawn News.
The protesters chanted slogans against police and demanded former president Asif Ali Zardari intervene to help them recover the girl, who was allegedly kidnapped in Unnar Muhalla, Qazi Ahmed town, six days ago.
But Nawabshah SSP Ameer Saud Magsi said that Shrimati Kareena had not been abducted she had eloped with Khalil Rehman Jono of Meer Mohammad Jono village and had married to him in a court in Karachi.
He told Dawn News that Asghar Jono, father of Khalil, had been arrested after registration of FIR under Section 365-B on a complaint lodged by Sundurmal.
Khalil and his father Asghar were nominated in FIR, he said.
The SSP shared a nikahnama purportedly of Shrimati Kareena and Khalil Rehman Jono and said the girl would be produced in Sindh High Court.
The girl would decide to go wherever she wanted, he said.
Hindu Panchayat vice president Lajpat Rai rejected the SSP’s claim and said that police had registered an FIR but were rescuing the abducted girl.
A delegation of Hindu community met the SSP but he had not helped them, he told Dawn News.
