ISLAMABAD, July 7: The Inter-Services Intelligence on Friday told the Lahore High Court that it had no information about the whereabouts of a nuclear scientist associated with the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission who has been missing for two years.

Justice Sardar Mohammad Aslam was hearing a petition filed by the father of the PAEC official, Attiqur Rehman. The interior ministry also submitted its report but it was not read out.

The petitioner Siddiqur Rehman has stated that his son was picked up from his house in Abbottabad by secret agencies about two years back on the day of his marriage. Since then his whereabouts were not known, the petitioner said.

The petitioner’s lawyer Ikram Chaudhry prayed for time to present rejoinder to the respondents’ replies.
