Seventy-five years after she was separated from her family during violence at the time of Partition, a woman born in a Sikh family who was adopted and raised by a Muslim couple met her brothers from India at Kartarpur in Pakistan's Punjab province, according to a media report on Wednesday.
At the time of Partition, Mumtaz Bibi, who was born in a Sikh family, was an infant who was lying on the body of her mother killed by a mob, the Dawn newspaper reported.
A couple named Muhammad Iqbal and Allah Rakhi adopted the baby girl and raised her as their own daughter, naming her Mumtaz Bibi. After Partition, Iqbal settled at Varika Tian village in Sheikhupura district of Pakistan's Punjab province.
Iqbal and his wife did not tell Mumtaz that she was not their daughter. Two years ago, Iqbal's health condition suddenly turned bad and he told Mumtaz that she was not his real daughter and she belonged to a Sikh family.
