His family was told that he is being taken for questioning.

The army's version of the disappearance is unconvincing and inconsistent with that of the family, who do not believe that  Rashid could have escaped from the camp, where hundreds of forces are deployed. A sinking feeling of panic has gripped the family and the entire area,” he said. (KNS)
