In what appears to be a case of forcible conversion, a Sikh girl, who was missing for past few days, was forcibly converted to Islam, according to media reports.

The 19-year-old victim, identified as Jagjit Kaur, is the daughter of Bhagwan Singh, a 'granthi' (priest) of Gurudwara Tambu Sahib and was converted to Islam at gunpoint in the Nankana Sahib area of Lahore. A video of Jagjit Kaur has also surfaced where she was forcibly converted to Islam and named as Ayesha. The 'maulvi', seen in the video, arranged her marriage with a Muslim man.
