Srinagar- Police have expedited the investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a cab driver and a woman at Ahrabal, Gurwatan area in Kulgam district of south Kashmir.
The vehicle they were traveling in was found abandoned at Arabal, a tourist attraction in south Kashmir by the police. The family of the missing cab driver staged a protest at Press Enclave to press for the early recovery of the kin.
The missing youth has been identified as Adil Bashir Sofi, son of Bashir Ahmad Sofi of Naidyar, Rainawari, who according to his family left home on Monday, September 30 for Aharbal.
Along with his shoes and socks, the missing man’s car was discovered abandoned from the spot from where both are thought to have been missing, a senior police officer informed Kashmir Observer.
Ruling out the suicide angle, the police officer, said had the duo been drowned, their bodies would have hit by a barrier erected at some 200 meters from the spot. He said the woman accompanying Sofi in his cab has not been identified yet.
“We are investigating the matter from every possible angle and are doing our best to trace the missing duo alive,” the police officer said.
To facilitate their recuperation, the authorities have urged anyone who may come across the duo—alive dead or alive—to contact the nearest police station immediately.
