India, Jan. 5 -- Pakistani authorities are deporting Sarabjit Kaur, the Punjab woman, who had gone to Nankana Sahib on pilgrimage in November and did not return, back to India.

Kaur had departed for Pakistan with the Sikh Jatha for the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev in November. Later, she went missing from the jatha and converted to Islam to marry a Pakistani man Nasir Hussain of Sheikhupura district.

A joint team of the Intelligence Bureau and local police arrested Sarabjit and Nasir in Pehre Wali village, Nankana Sahib. The Pakistan government has now started the process to deport Sarabjit to India. She is expected to be handed over to the Indian authorities at the Attari-Wagah check post.
