Married Hindu woman and her infant daughter abducted by armed men in Karachi, Pakistan
Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan 
4 December, 2025
Case Summary
A Hindu woman and her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Anmol, were abducted late at night on 5 December 2025 from Sindhi Mohalla, Jehanabad, in Karachi’s Sher Shah area. The family reported that three unidentified armed men forced the woman into a silver Alto shortly after she stepped outside her home. The incident caused immediate fear within the neighbourhood and left the family deeply distressed. The woman’s husband, Mukesh Kumar, who worked at a factory in Ghani Chowrangi, stated that his wife had been receiving threats for several days before the abduction. Several neighbours had reportedly witnessed this intimidation and were aware of the situation. The kidnapping of the mother and her young child created a sense of alarm among relatives and the local community, who expressed concern about the safety of minority families in the area. Mukesh Kumar and his relatives urgently contacted law-enforcement officials, including the SHO Pak Colony and SSP Keamari, requesting immediate action to secure the safe recovery of the woman and her daughter. They emphasised the need for prompt intervention to prevent further harm and to hold the abductors accountable. The case prompted responses from civil-society members, human-rights advocates, and the broader Sindhi Hindu community, who called for stronger protective measures and more proactive policing. Meanwhile, the family remained in a state of shock and anxiety as efforts to locate the victims continued.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been added to the Hinduphobia Tracker because it exhibits several recurring characteristics found in cases of religiously motivated violence and persecution against Hindus in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh. The abduction of a Hindu woman and her infant daughter aligns with a documented pattern of targeting Hindu women and girls for kidnapping, conversion, and forced marriage by Muslim men. The fact that the victim was being threatened and harassed before the abduction further indicates premeditation and a sustained effort to intimidate and control the Hindu family. Although there is no explicit confirmation that the abduction was carried out with a declared religious motive, the circumstances reflect the broader climate of systemic discrimination and religiously motivated coercion faced by Hindu minorities in Pakistan. Incidents of this nature have repeatedly followed the same trajectory: abduction, conversion to Islam, and subsequent marriage to Muslim men, often under state and judicial neglect. Given the pattern and context, this case has been placed in the Undecided Database of the Hinduphobia Tracker pending further evidence of explicit religious motivation. Should additional details confirm that the abduction was driven by religious hostility, it will be reclassified as a hate crime against Hindus.
