Kulgam youth goes missing, family appeals for return

KULGAM — Family members of 24 year old missing youth have urged their son to return home and appealed government to help them in tracing him.

Youth, identified as Irfan Ahmad Bhat son of Manzoor Ahmad Bhat resident of Poniwah village in Kulgam district, is missing since April 05.

His father Manzoor Ahmad said, “Soon after he left home, we tried to call him several times. His phone was switched off.”

“We called our relatives and his friends but could not find him,” he said while appealing his son to come back.

After failing to trace him, the family have filed a missing report at Police Station Kulgam.

The family of youth have appealed militant organisations that if their son is with them, they should let him back to his family.

“The efforts are on to trace the missing youth,” Senior Superintendent of Police, district Kulgam, Gurinder Pal Singh said.
