The couple went to the Indian High Commission to apply for Tahir’s visa on May 6. After submitting visa forms and their phones, Uzma went in after being called by the officials but didn’t returned, he claims.
After waiting for quite long, Tahir inquired about his wife but the commission refused to return her back. He then filed a First Information Report (FIR) in the secretariat police station against his wife’s confinement.
