The two girls, 13-year-old Raveena and 15-year-old Reena, were allegedly kidnapped by a group of "influential" men from their home in Ghotki district on the eve of Holi. Soon after the kidnapping, a video went viral in which a cleric was purportedly shown soleminising the Nikah (marriage) of the two girls.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has asked Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan to send a report on the abduction and conversion of two Hindu girls in Pakistan's Sindh province. This comes after a video of a father asking for the release of his two daughters surfaced on social media. The girls were reportedly kidnapped on the eve of Holi.
Goklani said: "The fact that the two girls were underage confirmed it was a crime and they couldn't show free will on getting married or conversion to Islam". "One of the accused persons has been arrested, while the police were conducting raids to arrest the others," a senior police official of Ghotki district said.
