He said after failing to find Mohsin for three days, they lodged a missing report on September 1 at concerned police station but there is no luck so far.
Last year, Bhat said that his son passed class 12 examination and was presently BA first year (first semester) student at Islamia college, Hawal, Srinagar however, due to the Covid pandemic and lockdown, he used to stay home and would hardly venture out.
Bhat was never taking part in street protests and was never arrested before, he said, adding that Mohsin’s parents, and two brothers are under tremendous stress and worried.
The family members appealed Mohsin to return as according to them his mother is a heart patient and his other brother is also ill.
“We request everyone, every organization and agency to kindly return him back as his mother and brother are very ill,” his father.
