But Nawabshah SSP Ameer Saud Magsi said that Shrimati Kareena had not been kidnapped she had eloped with Khalil Rehman Jono of Meer Mohammad Jono village and had married to him in a court in Karachi.
He said that Asghar Jono, father of Khalil, had been arrested after registration of FIR under Section 365-B on a complaint lodged by Sundurmal. Khalil and his father Asghar were nominated in FIR, he said.
The SSP shared a nikahnama purportedly of Shrimati Kareena and Khalil Rehman Jono and said the girl would be produced in Sindh High Court. The girl would decide to go wherever she wanted, he said.
Hindu Panchayat vice president Lajpat Rai rejected the SSP’s claim and said that police had registered an FIR but were rescuing the kidnapped girl. A delegation of Hindu community met the SSP but he had not helped them, he said.
Manomal, another Panchayat leader, said that the kidnapped girl was under pressure to change religion and was not being produced in any court.
He appealed to Asif Ali Zardari to help the Hindu community in the recovery of the girl. When the protestors reached close to Zardari House, police stopped them from advancing to the former president’s residence and persuade them to end the protest over assurance the girl would be produced in court.
