Indian Sikh Pilgrim Missing in Pakistan as Probe Expands, Claimed Marriage Document Surfaces

Authorities in India and Pakistan are tracing her after immigration records showed no exit from Pakistan nor re-entry to India.

Overview

  • Police in Kapurthala identified the missing pilgrim as Sarabjit Kaur, who was part of an approximately 1,900-strong SGPC jatha that returned via Attari–Wagah after a 10‑day visit.
  • Local police and central security agencies have opened an inquiry into her background as the Indian mission engages Pakistani authorities to locate her.
  • A purported nikahnama circulated online claims she converted to Islam and married a Pakistani man, a claim officials are checking and have not authenticated.
  • Her name does not appear in Pakistan’s exit logs or in India’s re‑entry records, according to multiple reports citing immigration data.
  • The trip also saw a 67‑year‑old devotee die of cardiac arrest in Gujranwala on November 10 and reports that at least 14 Hindu pilgrims with India passports were denied entry by Pakistani officials.
