The family of a 16-year-old boy from the Redwani area of Kulgam district who has gone missing from his home in the South Kashmir district has appealed him to return home.
Identified as Basit Ahmed Dar, the 16-year-old left his home for an errand and informed his family that he will return in a short span, but after that, his phone has been switched off.
Speaking to The Kashmiriyat, the family members of the teenager appealed to him to return home saying that, he has been missing since 25 April.
“He left home for Kulgam for his work and that was the last time he called his family, since then his mobile phone is switched off to date,” a family member of Basit said.
The family member said that their father passed away not more than a month ago and the death was traumatic for the entire family. “we appeal to the POlice and general public to help us trace Basit.”
Basit is survived by two sisters and a mother.
