SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Police are conducting extensive searches in Aharbal-Hirpora hamlet to trace out the missing man and woman from Srinagar while the family has staged a protest here and demanded the whereabouts of their beloved.
A Police official said that the chances of suicide and drowning are very low, saying that the bodies may have come on the surface due to the low water level. He added that the SDRF team has been pressed into the service, but the team hasn’t found any clue yet.
The official confirmed the presence of the woman with the man in a vehicle through a technical investigation.
It is pertinent to mention here that Adil Bashir, son of Bashir Ahmad Sofi of Rainawari Naidyar Srinagar and a woman who was along with him, went missing in Gurwatan on Kulgam-Shopian boundary two days ago. The missing man’s vehicle, besides a shoe and socks, was found at the spot.
The police official said that a case is being investigated keeping in view all possible angles so that there is no misinformation. He requested the public to inform them in case they have any information about the incident.
Moreover, the family of the missing Adil Bashir Sofi of Naidyar, Rainawari, Srinagar, staged a protest today at Press Enclave, Srinagar.
The sister of Adil told the media persons that on September 30, her brother, who was a driver by profession, went missing.
“At around 08:45 PM, we received a phone call from Rainawari Police Station enquiring about him. We tried to call my brother’s number, but it was switched off,” he said.
“We contacted the police, and they informed us that they had found the cab near Aharbal, but it was empty. Later, we received another call from Hirpora Shopian Police Station, inquiring about the cab,” the family said, adding that when they reached there, they saw the cab inside the police station.
“We have no issues with the police, but our only concern is that no missing report has been filed by either Shopian or Rainawari police. We would like to request the authorities to help us find our beloved, as we are extremely worried about him and do not know where he has gone,” the family demanded. (KNO)
