Pakistan likely to repatriate Sarabjit Kaur on Tuesday

Earlier, there were reports that Sarabjit Kaur, a resident of Kapurthala, would be repatriated on Monday. However, this could not happen due to documentation issues.

Confirming the development, Attari DSP Yadwinder Singh said her repatriation was delayed as her documents were incomplete. “The formalities are being completed and she is expected to be repatriated on Tuesday,” he added.

Sarabjit had travelled to Pakistan on a visitor’s visa as part of a jatha of Sikh pilgrims to mark Guru Nanak Dev’s Parkash Purb on November 4, 2025. She went missing while visiting Gurdwara Nankana Sahib. Subsequently, reports emerged that she had embraced Islam and married a Pakistani national, Nasir Hussain, a resident of Sheikhupura, about 56 km from Lahore.

The Sikh jatha returned to India on November 13. Meanwhile, Mahinder Pal Singh, a former Punjab Assembly member in Pakistan, filed a petition in the Lahore High Court seeking Sarabjit’s repatriation, terming the issuance of a single-entry visa illegal.
