Amritsar: A woman from Punjab, who had travelled to Pakistan under the guise of a Sikh pilgrimage but married a Muslim man there, is said to have clarified that she did not go there as a spy, but to get the man to delete her obscene photos.
In an unauthenticated audio clip that went viral online, the woman is believed to be speaking to her former husband in India, stating that she went to Pakistan solely to have her photographs removed. She claimed that these were in the possession of a Pakistani man, Nasir Hussain, whom she married after converting to Islam.In the clip, Sarabjit is heard tearfully stating that the Muslim man she married, along with his mother, wife, and sister, physically assaulted her.
She emphasised that no one should harass her upon her return.In an emotional tone, she adds, “I am being harassed here. I cannot live without my children. I used to give millions of rupees to people; I am a Sardarni, yet I am left pleading for money.”In the audio, Sarabjit is heard telling the man she is speaking with that she already took medicine and will take it again, urging him not to trouble her, hit her, or cause her any pain. The man, believed to be her husband, reassures her, saying that will never happen and, swearing by Guru Nanak Dev, he promises not to speak against her and also advises her to go to Gurdwara Nanaka Sahib.As obtaining a Pakistani visa was difficult,the woman decided to enter the country under the guise of a pilgrimage. She applied for a visa as part of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s jatha that visited Pakistan to mark the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev from Nov 4 to 13, 2025, and joined the group of 1,932 Sikh pilgrims.However, on Nov 13, during the departure from Pakistan, she was found missing. After a local Sikh leader filed a petition in court seeking her arrest and deportation for overstaying the visa, she was arrested and sent to Dar ul Alam (women shelter home), waiting for a special permit to travel to India.
