Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has ordered a probe into reports of abduction, forced conversion and underage marriages of two teenage Hindu girls in Sindh province and to take immediate steps for their recovery, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry Hussain said on Sunday.
The two girls, Raveena (13) and Reena (15), were allegedly kidnapped by a group of men from their home in Ghotki district in Sindh 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.
In a Twitter post in Urdu on Sunday, the information minister said that the prime minister has issued directives to the Sindh chief minister to look into reports that the girls in question have been taken to Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab.
