Overview
- Sarbjit (Sarbjeet) Kaur of Kapurthala traveled with a 1,900-plus Sikh jatha on November 4 and was missing when the group returned on November 13.
- Her name does not appear in Pakistan’s exit logs or India’s re-entry records for the returning pilgrims, according to officials.
- A purported nikahnama and a passport copy circulating online claim she took the name Noor and married Nasir Hussain in Sheikhupura on November 5, with the Indian mission seeking verification from local authorities.
- Pakistan’s Express Tribune reports she told a Sheikhupura magistrate she converted and married of her own will, a claim Indian police have not independently confirmed.
- Punjab Police and central agencies have opened inquiries, noting anomalies in her immigration paperwork and prior cheating cases, as the SGPC termed such conduct during pilgrimage condemnable.
