“Soon after the incident happened, I report to Police Station Tadd Karnah and lodged a missing report of my son”, Yaqoub said.
He said when family came to know about his incident, it lost all hope about his return. However, he described the return of his son a “miracle” and thanked for the efforts of civil and army administration across. (KNS)
