A chilling pre-abduction video of two minor Hindu girls, aged 13 and 14, has emerged, revealing their fears of continuous harassment and threats from their abductors. The girls, identified as Raila and Sheetal, were forcibly kidnapped from near Tando Muhammad Khan Railway Station in Sindh, Pakistan, on the night of November 6, 2025. Their families, after three days of relentless struggle, finally succeeded in filing an FIR, hoping for immediate police action to recover the girls and arrest the accused.
The Pre-Abduction Video: A Cry for Help
In the video, both girls are seen recording their statements, visibly distressed and expressing fear of the threats they had received. They mention receiving calls from their abductors, who had been harassing them for days. The video, now widely circulated, has sparked outrage among local and international human rights activists, who demand immediate action from Pakistani authorities.
A Pattern of Abductions and Forced Conversions
This incident is not isolated. The region of Tando Muhammad Khan has seen a disturbing rise in the abduction, forced conversion, and marriage of minor Hindu girls. According to reports, around 1,000 Hindu and Christian women in Pakistan fall victim to such kidnappings every year, with many cases going unreported or ignored by local authorities. The families of the victims often face threats and intimidation, making it difficult to pursue legal action or recover their daughters.
Community and Activist Response
Local Hindu rights activists and organizations have condemned the kidnappings, emphasizing that these crimes are part of a systematic campaign to target minority communities. “The lack of action by the police and the judiciary only emboldens the perpetrators,” said a local activist. “We demand justice and the safe return of Raila and Sheetal.”
International Outcry and Calls for Justice
Human rights groups and international observers have repeatedly raised concerns about the safety of minority communities in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh. The United Nations and other global bodies have called for urgent reforms to protect vulnerable groups and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable. The recent video has further intensified these calls, with activists urging the Pakistani government to take concrete steps to address the issue and provide security to minority families.
Police Response and Ongoing Investigation
Local police have registered an FIR following the family’s persistent efforts. However, the community remains skeptical about the effectiveness of the investigation, given the history of delayed or inadequate responses in similar cases. The families of Raila and Sheetal continue to appeal for public support and media attention to ensure their daughters’ safe return.
Conclusion
The abduction of Raila and Sheetal is a stark reminder of the ongoing threats faced by minority communities in Pakistan. As the video of their pre-abduction statements circulates, it serves as a poignant call to action for authorities, activists, and the international community to unite in the fight against forced conversions and abductions. The world watches as the families of these young girls await justice and the return of their loved ones.
