Pak Sikh girl, allegedly forced to convert to Islam, refuses to go home: Court official

A teenage Sikh girl on whose issue Gurdwara Nankana Sahib came under attack last week refused to go along with her elder brother to her parents' house after meeting him in the Lahore High Court premises on Thursday, according to a court official.

During the proceedings on Thursday, Judge Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi accepted Manmohan Singh's plea to have a meeting with his sister Jagjit Kaur (18) in the court premises. However, his efforts to persuade his sister to return to her parents' home couldn't bear the fruit.

Singh after his meeting with Kaur told the court that her sister "is under pressure and she should be given more time to make a final decision."
Earlier, a report of the medical superintendent of Mayo Hospital, Lahore was submitted to the court confirming that Kaur is not a minor. It said her "age is above 18 years."
The investigating officer in the case of abduction lodged against Hassan by Singh requested the judge to adjourn hearing for indefinite period as "law and order situation is tense in Nankana Sahib."
