Sikhs are protesting in Srinagar after a young woman from the community was allegedly kidnapped by a man from another community.
Police said they have rescued the 18-year-old woman and handed her over to the family. The 29-year-old accused man has been arrested.
“The girl was rescued and presented before the court and then she went with her family members,” Srinagar SP Mubasher Hussain said.
The Sikhs alleged that two more young women of their community have been kidnapped while only one has been handed over to them.
On Sunday, Delhi Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee president Manjinder Singh Sirsa landed in Srinagar and protested along with a group of Sikhs. He has demanded a law in Jammu and Kashmir mandating permission of parents in inter-religious marriages.
