Pakistani Hindu woman, minor daughter kidnapped in Karachi 

Shiva Kaachi, a civil rights activist for the Hindu community in the Sindh province, said Rani and her minor daughter were still missing, and her family feared she would be forcibly converted to Islam and then married off to one of the abductors.

“We have managed to get a FIR registered, but it was a deeply alarming situation the way three unidentified armed men abducted the Hindu mother and her daughter,” he said.

He appealed to the senior police officials to take notice and take action, as Hindu girls and women were now being frequently abducted and forcibly converted to Islam and then married off to Muslim men who, in most cases, are much older than them.

Kachi, who runs his office in Mirpurkhas, Sindh, said he himself had been receiving death threats from groups who are involved in this menace of kidnapping and forcibly converting Hindu girls, mostly from poor families.

“I have received death threats on the phone, and I fear for my life, but I have reported the matter to the police and have asked for security.”

Meanwhile, in another case, in Umerkot city in the Sindh province, armed men tried to kidnap a Hindu girl who had recently got married.

Bhagvi was going home with her husband to meet her parents when armed men tried to kidnap her. However, she was fortunate that the armed men could not abduct her as people stepped in and attacked the armed men, forcing them to drive away.
