Sarabjit Kaur's audio with ex-husband emerges, heard pleading to return home
48-year-old Kaur, now known as Noor Hussain, says she went to Pakistan to get her photos removed that in possession of Nasir Hussain
Days after her proposed return to India was held back by the Pakistan government, an audio recording of Sarabjit Kaur, a Sikh woman from Punjab who had deserted the Sikh Jatha to marry a Pakistan national, emerged on X (formerly Twitter).
In the audio, she is heard crying and pleading to return home while speaking to her ex-husband. She says she went to Pakistan to get her photos removed that were allegedly in possession of Nasir Hussain.
Earlier, on January 6 and 7 there had been a strong rumour of her being deported from Pakistan, but it did not materialise.
48-year-old Kaur, now known as Noor Hussain after converting to Islam and marrying in Lahore, remains in the custody of Pakistani authorities. She travelled to Pakistan in November 2025 as part of the Sikh pilgrim group to mark the birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev at his birthplace Nankana Sahib.
She did not return to India with the group and later during her stay in Pakistan, she converted to Islam, married one Nasir Hussain, and took the name Noor Hussain.
Her visa expired on November 13, 2025, the day the rest of the group returned to India. She was arrested on January 4 for overstaying her visa in Pakistan. She also filed a petition seeking Pakistani citizenship and protection, claiming her life would be in danger in India.
