A routine religious pilgrimage for Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Prakash Parv has plunged into an international mystery, sparking an alert for Indian and Pakistani authorities. Sarabjit Kaur, one of 1,932 Indian Sikh pilgrims who crossed into Pakistan, mysteriously disappeared and has not returned. Emerging claims from Pakistan suggest a religious conversion and marriage, fueling intense investigations and demands for clarity from her family.
Sarabjit entered Pakistan on November 4th. By November 13th, she was gone, vanishing without a trace from Pakistani soil. Her absence was noted when the return convoy was being assembled, prompting immediate panic and the launch of investigations by both nations. A critical detail surfaced: Sarabjit had not filled in her nationality or passport number on her immigration form, a fact now considered a significant clue.
Adding to the enigma, a viral letter from Pakistan alleges that Sarabjit Kaur has converted to Islam, entered into a nikah (Islamic marriage contract) with a local man named Nasir Hussain, and adopted the name Noor Hussain. Reports indicate a mosque in Sheikhupura has issued a marriage certificate, purportedly confirming her consent to the nikah performed before a maulvi. However, Indian intelligence agencies remain unconvinced, exploring the possibility of a meticulously planned operation.
Further complicating the narrative, theories suggest Sarabjit’s husband has resided in England for two decades. Investigators are examining whether her disappearance was a calculated move to utilize the ‘dunkey route,’ an illegal border crossing network, to reach the UK via Pakistan. This potential illegal immigration attempt, if true, could explain her deliberate omission of immigration details.
Adding another layer of complexity, police records indicate Sarabjit Kaur faced three previous criminal cases, though she was acquitted in all. Her sons also have records under the NDPS Act. These past legal entanglements are prompting questions about potential pre-existing connections in Pakistan and whether her disappearance was pre-arranged.
Authorities have stressed that there is no concrete confirmation of religious conversion or marriage at this stage, with investigations actively ongoing. The truth behind Sarabjit Kaur’s vanishing act remains elusive, with persistent questions about whether she is a willing participant, was coerced, or if this is a complex scheme involving religious conversion, illegal immigration, or other clandestine activities.
