On being summoned by the police, his father called Irfan and he reached home in the evening, from where he was handed over to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the family, the police assured that the matter was \u201cnot very big\u201d and that Irfan would be returned in three days. Later, SSP Haveli also gave the same assurance, but despite continuous contacts, no trace of Irfan was found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heirs say that on April 16, Irfan\u2019s confession statement suddenly came to light in the breaking news, which shook the entire family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family says, \u201cIrfan never went to Pindi, nor to Neza Peer, nor did he send any live location there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said, \u201cOur son or any member of the family cannot be against the state or institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They said, \u201cEven if a foreigner had contacted on social media, he could not have sent anything other than ordinary pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family\u2019s position is that \u201cWe do not agree with Irfan\u2019s statement in any way, because he has not been to the places he is mentioning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, the Jammu and Kashmir Police had claimed that Irfan was associated with the Indian intelligence agency \u201cRAW\u201d and he had admitted his contacts in a video statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the police, Irfan admitted to contacts with people abroad. He mentioned giving information through social media and getting financial benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kashgil-news wp-block-embed-kashgil-news\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kJ4UZR79Mb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kashgilnews.com\/english\/1382\/\">Claim of arrest of a person allegedly associated with \u2018RAW\u2019 from Pakistani Kashmir<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Claim of arrest of a person allegedly associated with \u2018RAW\u2019 from Pakistani Kashmir&#8221; &#8212; Kashgil News\" src=\"https:\/\/kashgilnews.com\/english\/1382\/embed\/#?secret=JJwfqpWu93#?secret=kJ4UZR79Mb\" data-secret=\"kJ4UZR79Mb\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The video said that a person named \u201cShahid\u201d from Lahore contacted him on Facebook.
