The disappearance and brutal murder of a young Sikh shopkeeper in the Afghan capital, Kabul, have shocked the country’s tiny Hindu and Sikh minority.

"However, as per available information, more than 30,000 persons belonging to such minority communities in these countries are staying in India on long-term visa," the Indian Minister of State for Home Affairs added.
