The local police reacted improperly to Hindu community people who had gone to the station to file a complaint.
“A delegation of the Hindu community met the SSP but he had not helped them, even after FIR was registered against the forced conversion,” Hindu Panchayat vice president Lajpat Rai said
With extreme pain, another Panchayat leader Manomal said, “The abducted girl was under pressure to change religion and was not being produced in any court. We have appealed to Asif Ali Zardari to help the Hindu community in the recovery of the girl, but when we reached Zardari House – extremists supporter police stopped us from advancing to the former president’s residence,”
There have been several such cases taking place in Pakistan, however, no justice is being served. Atrocities against minorities have been happening continuously in the country.
