But later on both, his numbers were switched off and family lost contact with him. It was also reported that his daughter’s wedding was on Friday, same day family reported him missing fearing he was abducted.

The news of disappearance stirred panic in the social media users as a few weeks ago, SP Tahir Khan Dawar had gone missing in the same manner and later his dead body was found in Afghanistan.
Although it is relieving that DD Ayaz Khan is safe, the incident has raised many questions. As it was reported that his daughter’s wedding in Islamabad was scheduled on Friday, observers wonder why would he, without telling his family, went to DI Khan especially when he did inform his wife he was heading back home soon. Why would he not contact his family for straight 24 hours to inform them of his whereabouts using other means than his own cell phone he claimed he had lost?
