With two militant brothers killed earlier, Tral youth goes missing

SRINAGAR — A 19-year-old youth has gone missing from his home earlier this week in Dadsara Tral of South Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

Kashif Mir, a student of class 11th, as per a family member, went missing from his home on March 20.

“We have been looking for him at every possible place but have been unable to locate him for nearly a week now,” he said. “A missing report dated March 20 has been already registered in this regard.”

Meanwhile, a police official confirming receipt of a missing report from the family of the youth told GNS that efforts are on to trace the teenager.

Pertinently, Mir’s two elder brothers, Nayeem Bashir and Adil Bashir, both belonging to militant outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, were killed in separate gunfights in 2010 and 2014 respectively.
