Amidst reports that a Hindu woman was beheaded and her body mutilated in Pakistan on Wednesday, Ministry of External Affairs said here on Thursday it did not have specific details adding Pakistan is responsible for safety and security of minorities there.
Making this assertion here, ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said “We don't have any specific details on this report. Pakistan is responsible for the safety and security of minorities in their country.’

This alleged incident was highlighted in a tweet message by Krishna Kumari, Pakistan's first female senator from the Hindu community. The Pakistan Peoples Party(PPP) leader said skin was peeled off from the victim's body and face. The woman is survived by four children. She was a widow.
The lawmaker’s tweet said "Daya Bhel 40 years widow brutally murdered and body was found in very bad condition. Her head was separated from the body and the savages had removed flesh of the whole head. Visited her village. Police teams from Sinjhoro and Shahpurchakar also reached."
Jiyala Amar lal Bheel(PPP) claimed that the mutilated body was found in an agriculture field on Wednesday and police have gathered details from the woman's family.
