Missing boy: HC asks DIG to appear with files

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Wednesday directed DIG Kashmir to personally appear before the court on June 6 along with all case diaries pertaining to the missing of four-year-old Mehran Mir.

Meanwhile, DIG Mohammad Subhan Lone, who is heading the investigation team to trace the boy, filed a third status report in the High Court through Advocate General Altaf Nayak. The AG assured the court that all necessary steps will be taken to locate the missing child.

In its written status report, the police had disclosed that they have checked the records of many nursing homes in the Valley to find out whether any kidney transfer operation has been conducted or not after Mehran went missing. But, Mian Abdul Qayoom, lawyer of the parents, said that while the police were claiming many things in written documents, the fact was that it had failed to trace the boy.
