KARACHI, PAKISTAN - A court in Pakistan on Tuesday ordered the government to take custody of two Hindu sisters allegedly kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam, police said, a case that triggered a quarrel with Hindu-majority neighbour India.

"The court has directed the deputy commissioner to take their custody," he added, referring to an administration official in the Pakistani capital. The incident prompted a rare public intervention by a top Indian official in its neighbour's domestic affairs, when Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Twitter she had asked India's ambassador in Pakistan for a report on news of it.
