"I have come to know about them from the locals, street vendors and my next door neighbor that on the fateful day of 26.01.2014, in between 12:00 Pm to 1:00 Pm they were enquiring about my father when the latter had gone to visit the plot with Rs 3 lakhs" Saqi Shah, (at present) resident of Poonch Colony, Lane number 4, Gurah Brahamana, Bantalab Jammu told Early Times that on January 26, 2014 at around 2:30-3:00 Pm his father namely Zakar Hussain Shah, Son of Mohd Shah had gone to visit the plot at Sector 6, Roop Nagar Jammu form where he never returned.
Shah was reportedly carrying an amount of Rs. 3 Lakhs which he had carried for the purchase of construction material for the raising construction over the said plot.
"In the evening, around 7: 00 Pm my father made a phone call on the mobile phone and asked my mother to prepare tea but after one hour when my father did not return, said Shah.
Shah further said that next day he with his mother again tried to locate his father but all went in vain following which they lodged a missing report in the police Post Chinnore.

The complainant had shifted from Vasuki Vihar, Gurah Brahamana, Bantallab Jammu to their present address i.e. Poonch Colony, Lane number 4, Gurah Brahamana, Bantallab Jammu where they are living as tenants.
