It has been observed for some time now that in foreign countries, especially London, Canada, America, Pakistanis trap Hindu-Sikh girls in their net and sexually exploit them. There has been a continuous increase in such incidents, which is a matter of serious concern. Generally, under what is also referred to as Pakistani “love jihad,” innocent Indian girls, most of whom have gone abroad for studies and usually live away from their families, are contacted through social media or other means, trapped in love jihad, exploited, and then abandoned.

Recently, a spine-chilling case has come to light from the city of Hounslow in West London. Here, a Pakistani grooming gang trapped a 14-year-old Sikh girl in a love trap, abducted her, and kept her hostage in a flat where she was subjected to gang rape. After the alleged inaction of the police, the Sikh community living in London took matters into their own hands and rescued the girl from the clutches of the accused.

The case came to light when a Sikh young man living in the same building saw a 34-year-old Pakistani man with a minor Sikh girl on the staircase. When the young man questioned him out of suspicion, the accused became aggressive and threatened him to stay away. Considering the suspicious nature of the situation, the Sikh young man informed other members of the community.

According to information shared on social media by David Atherton, the accused kept the girl confined in the flat from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. After being released, the victim girl stated that the accused had called 5–6 other men and made them brutalize her. When she tried to escape, she was locked in a room and forced to remain silent after being threatened with death.

The Sikh youth alleges that the police were informed about the incident, but no concrete action was taken. After this, in no time, more than 200 Sikhs gathered outside the accused’s flat. After several hours of heavy commotion and siege, the protesters entered the flat and safely brought the girl out. Not only this, people from the Sikh community said that there is a large network of Pakistani groomer gangs active in the UK which specifically targets girls aged 11 to 16 who are poor or appear alone on social media.

 Trapping them by giving expensive gifts, false promises of love and marriage. Separating them from family and blackmailing them and then sending them to hotels or flats for prostitution. American businessman Elon Musk has also expressed deep concern over these increasing incidents of grooming gangs. He has raised this issue on social media and strongly criticized the British Prime Minister for not taking action.
