End to trauma of missing tribesman's family not in sight

Tuesday, February 10, 2009 Javed Aziz Khan PESHAWAR: Another tribesman has been added to the infamous list of missing persons after he was picked up by the intelligence agencies and police from somewhere in Bhanamari in October last year and is yet to be located. Cops of the Bhanamari Police Station and intelligence officials arrested Syed Kamal Hussain, 40, originally belonging to Parachinar, Kurram Agency, over a tip-off on October 18. Since then, nobody knows about his whereabouts. Jamila, young wife of the missing tribesman, has moved the court to find her spouse. The court has summoned police officials for February 14 to know where the nabbed person has been kept. According to the wife of the arrested tribesman, Syed Kamal was on way to visit doctor in Dabgari Gardens when picked up by the forces. He has been missing since then as police are expressing ignorance about the arrest of my spouse. I have knocked at every door during the past three and half months but useless,Ó Jamila told 'The News'. The woman said that her spouse was serving as a contractor with a construction company. The family has been living in Swati Phatak locality for the past many months. The couple has five children, Mohammad Kamal, 13, Batool Kamal, 11, Taimur Kamal, 8, Naveed Kamal, 6 and their youngest 2-year-old baby. The younger children inquire about their father every evening when they don't find him at home. I tell them he would come back soon but how can I continue dodging them through false statements,Ó Jamila told this scribe with welled-up eyes. Wife and other family members of the missing tribesman have demanded of the authorities to produce Kamal before the court of law if they have any charges against him. The family is going through trauma. Also, they are suffering from the worst financial crises as Kamal was the lone source of income for his family,Ó said a relative. He asked the government authorities to release Kamal or produce him before the court.
