Sarbjeet Kaur, an Indian Sikh pilgrim who went missing during her visit to Pakistan for Guru Nanak Jayanti, has now appeared in an online Nikahnama that claims she married a Pakistani man.
Kaur had travelled with a group of devotees to Pakistan on November 4 to mark the Parkash Purab, or the birth anniversary, of Guru Nanak Dev, and she is a resident of the Kapurthala district in Punjab.
She went missing on November 13, and documents shared on social media say that she accepted Islam and married a Pakistani national named Nasir Hussain, reported News18.
Kaur was part of a Sikh delegation of 1,923 members led by the Jathedar of Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, and the group entered Pakistan through the Attari border in Amritsar under a bilateral arrangement that allows pilgrims to visit religious shrines.
The delegation spent ten days visiting several gurudwaras across Pakistan, and while 1,922 pilgrims returned to India on Thursday evening, her disappearance created serious security concerns, and agencies in both India and Pakistan were trying to trace her.
On November 4, the Sikh pilgrims reached Nankana Sahib to celebrate Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Prakash Parv, and around the same time, Pakistani officials reportedly stopped 14 Hindus from Delhi and Lucknow from travelling with the group.
In September, the Centre had denied permission for Sikh pilgrims to visit Pakistan for the Parkash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji because of rising tensions between the two countries after the Pahalgam terror attack and India's Operation Sindoor.
The Union government approved the pilgrimage nearly two weeks later, and every year the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee sends a group of devotees to Pakistan to pray at historic gurudwaras linked to Sikh history, especially during Guru Nanak Jayanti.
