Srinagar: Family members and relatives of a Bemina man today staged protest here urging police to speed up efforts to trace their missing son.
Hilal Ahmad Dar, 27, a PHD scholar from Ibrahim Colony Bemina, according to protesters went missing after he went for trekking to Gangbal Lake along with five other friends on Sunday.
Holding placards which read “Save Hilal, Find him” the protesters assembled at Press Enclave here this afternoon and staged protest to seek whereabouts of their missing son.
They said five other friends of Hilal, who had accompanied him to Gangbal on the fateful day, have returned but their son has not come back yet.
“His father and mother have died; he is an orphan and is looked after by his elder brother. We appeal the administration to speed up efforts in tracing our son. We have lodged missing compliant at police station Kangan same day but police has not succeeded to trace him yet,” said the missing man’s aunt.
She appealed the police to investigate the case from all angles and try to ascertain the logic behind sudden disappearance of their son, whose five friends returned home safely.
They appealed the Lieutenant Governor Girish Chandra Murmu and Deputy Commissioner (DC) Srinagar, Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, to personally intervene in the matter and help them trace their missing son.
