the Baisakhi festival there as part of an SGPC Sikh 'jatha' (delegation).
"I had dropped Kiran Bala, who is my daughter-in-law, at Amritsar on April 10 for accompanying the Sikh jatha which was going to Pakistan to celebrate Baisakhi there. She was very happy at that time," said Tarsem.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), apex religious body of the Sikhs, had sent a Sikh 'jatha' to Pakistan to celebrate Baisakhi festival there.
A senior SGPC official said that the Committee has sought a report under what circumstances the woman was separated from the 'jatha.'
Kiran Bala's husband Narinder Kumar had died in a road accident in 2013.
She has three children -- a 12-year-old daughter and two sons, respectively eight and six years old.
Tarsem said she had been leading a happy life here with her children and she loved them very much.
Bala has sought an extension of her visa after marrying a man in Lahore and embracing Islam, media reports said today in Pakistan.
Kiran Bala reportedly wrote to the Pakistan Foreign Office that her visa should be extended as she has married one Mohammad Azam, resident of Lahore, during a ceremony held at Jamia Naeemia seminary in Lahore on April 16.
She also changed her name to Amna Bibi which she used to sign the letter addressed to the foreign ministry, the reports said.
She arrived in Pakistan on April 12 with other Sikh pilgrims to attend the festival in Gurdwara Panja Sahib located in Hasan Abdal near Islamabad. Her visa will expire on April 21.
