Fifteen-year-old Suntara, daughter of Rai Singh Kohli was abducted by armed men in village Rais Nehal Khan of Mirpur Khas district of Sindh, reports ANI.
The family faced harassment when they went to the police station. An FIR was filed after the family reportedly waited for the entire day.

Meanwhile, the abductors have already filed a certificate of her conversion to Islam in the police station, reports ANI.
In another instance of torture meted towards the Hindus, the Bheel community members, including women and children, were beaten up and their homes were destroyed in Tharparkar district of Sindh.
