Digging Daily For 8 Months - A Father's Search For Missing Soldier In J&K

Manzoor Ahmad Wagay's son Shakir Manzoor, a soldier of the Territorial Army, was kidnapped by terrorists on August 2.

For the last eight months, Manzoor Ahmad Wagay has been digging every single day and coming up with nothing. The day he does find what he's looking for, it will be the body of his young son. Wagay's son Shakir Manzoor, a soldier of the Territorial Army, was kidnapped by terrorists on August 2. Since then, the 56-year-old father has been going every day with shovels and spades to a spot where his clothes were found. He weeps when he talks about the last time he saw Shakir, who would have turned 25 this year. It was Eid and he had come home for lunch with the family. "Barely an hour after he left home, Shakir called on the phone and told us he was going with some friends and that they should not disclose this to the Army if they ask for him. He had actually already been kidnapped and his captors had allowed him to call one last time," says Wagay.
