The girl has been shot in Rohi!
On Tuesday, an 18-year-old Hindu girl in Pakistan's Sindh Province was shot dead during a failed abduction attempt, media reports said.
The girl identified as Pooja Oad was said to have been shot in the middle of the street in Rohi, Sukkur after she put up resistance to the attackers, The Friday Times newspaper reported the story.
This is not a single incident in Pakistan. Human rights activists say that hundreds of Christian and Hindu girls are forced to convert to Islam every year.
Women belonging to minority communities are regularly abducted and forcibly converted. Rights groups say the country's minority communities have long faced the issue of forced marriages and conversions.
Multiple rights organizations have accused the Pakistan government of not taking necessary actions over the rising crimes against Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan.
About 75 lakh Hindus live in Pakistan, according to official estimation. The majority of Pakistan's Hindu population, which forms the biggest minority community in the country, is settled in Sindh province.
Earlier, the provincial government in Sindh had attempted to outlaw forced conversions and marriages. However, religious protestors contested the bill, stating that girls only convert after falling in love with Muslim men.
