Karachi, Sindh – February 11, 2025: A 15-year-old Sindhi Hindu girl named Asha, daughter of Shankar, has been kidnapped from Lyari. This shocking incident adds to a troubling trend of violence against minority communities in the region.
According to reports, Asha was abducted by a man named Noman, a resident of Ghulam Shah Compound, Old Kambharori. Noman, described as a Muslim kidnapper, is already married and reportedly struggles with drug addiction, showing a complete disregard for the responsibilities towards his family. This heinous act has raised alarm among the local Hindu community, as Asha becomes the fifth victim in a series of kidnappings involving Hindu girls from the Lyari area since last year.
Asha’s parents have filed an FIR (First Information Report) against Noman, yet the police have failed to locate him or any trace of Asha in the Old City area of Karachi. The lack of swift action by law enforcement raises serious concerns about the safety of minorities in the region.
This distressing incident highlights the urgent need for action. The Chief Minister of Sindh, the Inspector General of Sindh, and the Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court must take immediate and stringent measures against the accused. It is imperative to ensure justice for Asha and to restore peace of mind to the families living in fear.
As the community grapples with this tragedy, it is crucial for authorities to prioritize the safety of all citizens, regardless of their religious affiliation. We must stand together to demand justice and protection for vulnerable individuals, ensuring that no more innocent lives are put at risk.
