Islamabad: A Sikh woman, Sarabjit Kaur, who had travelled to Pakistan as part of a Sikh pilgrims\u2019 group, was detained there recently and is being handed over to India on Monday after completion of official formalities at the border.<\/p>\n
Sarabjit Kaur had gone to Pakistan in November to visit gurdwaras during Guru Nanak Dev\u2019s birth anniversary celebrations but later went missing. She was part of a group of more than 1,900 Sikh pilgrims who crossed into Pakistan via the Attari-Wagah border on November 4. While the group returned to India on November 13 after a 10-day visit, Sarabjit did not return with them.<\/p>\n
According to information available, she later married a Pakistani national, Nasir Hussain, after converting to Islam and took the name Noor Hussain. A nikahnama that went viral in Pakistan said the marriage took place in Sheikhupura, around 56 km from Lahore.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old woman, a resident of Kapurthala in Punjab, is expected to be brought back to India via the Attari-Wagah border later in the afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
