The situation has left the family in distress as they continue to seek answers and hope for Ahmad Farhad's safe return.
She accused the police of not cooperating, noting that since they took Farhad's remand, he should be at the police station.

The situation has left the family in distress as they continue to seek answers and hope for Ahmad Farhad's safe return.
Earlier in the day, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) was informed that missing poet Ahmed Farhad Shah was in the custody of Dhirkot police in Azad Kashmir.
The development came as IHC senior puisne judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani resumed hearing a petition seeking the missing Kashmiri poet’s recovery.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan had called for the immediate release of Shah, who had been allegedly abducted from his home on May 15.
A petition had been filed by Shah’s wife in the IHC the same day, requesting that he be found and produced before the court and to identify, investigate and prosecute those responsible for his disappearance.
