Jammu, Nov 4
Hundreds of Sikhs in Jammu Wednesday held a massive demonstration to protest the abduction of a Sikh woman and alleged complicity of the state police with the kidnappers.
The demonstrators were angry over the abduction of Amrit Kaur of Srinagar by a Muslim boy, while the police maintained that the duo were adults and had married out of their will.
But the community leaders asked the police to present the girl before her parents and to bring the couple to Jammu. The demonstrators also burnt effigies of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to give vent to their anger.
"She is being pressured to convert to Islam," Gurcharan Singh, a Sikh leader, told reporters.
