Former officer of the Pakistan Army has gone missing from Nepal’s Lumbini area, a private TV channel reported on Saturday.
Mohammad Habib, a retired lieutenant colonel, went missing on April 6, 2017 after which investigation has been launched to recover him. It is to be mentioned here that Habib after the retirement uploaded his CV for a job on the web of UN and Lekstroom.
After this, a man named Thamssion from UK and Indian post website contacted him and called him in Nepal. Lumbini area is about five kilometres away from the Indian border. According to initial investigation, Habib was trapped as Indian Post which contacted him is blocked and all of its record is missing while the number from which Habib Tahir was called is fake.
