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, along with the brother’s shoes and clothes.

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
