Missing man: Police asked to submit report in three days

The 26-year-old software engineer went missing in March.

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday directed the capital police to submit report in the court about a missing man within three days.

The court issued the direction on a petition filed by Muhammad Salik Jadoon making the capital police chief, SSP, SP (investigation) and the Golra police station SHO as respondents.

The petitioner requested the court to direct the respondents to recover his son and produce him before the court.

He said that his son, Fahd Sadiq Jadoon, a software engineer, went missing after leaving his office in G-13/3 on March 18, 2015.  The petitioner said neither the police were registering a case nor helping him in tracing his son.

“The facts and circumstances lead to irresistible conclusion of enforced disappearance,” Jadoon maintained in the petition. The court on Friday last had ordered the Golra Police Station SHO to recover the 26-year-old missing man till Monday.

The court also asked the petitioner to provide a photograph and mobile phone number of the missing man to the police.

“SHO is required to recover the missing man before the next date of hearing,” the court had ordered.

The police, however, told the court on Monday that they were clueless and needed more time to investigate.

Police had also informed the court that though they had not registered an FIR, an entry had been made in the daily roster.
