New Delhi, Sept 19: Taking an "adverse view of unsatisfactory and vague" reply furnished by the Jammu and Kashmir government regarding enforced or involuntary disappearances of people in the state, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked the state to furnish all details in regard to such cases. The commission has also issued a notice to defence ministry seeking a report within four weeks on a news item titled "army takes away groom on day 1 of the wedding, sends his body back”, the NHRC sources said today.

According to the news report, one Tahir Hassan was taken away by army on his wedding day and three days later the family was told that the 22-year-old Tahir, who the army claimed was their "guide", had been killed in an explosion at a militant camp.
Upon perusing that press report, the commission noted that if the report was true, "it raised serious issue of violation of human rights”.
