Jawan's father missing, a month after video on land grabbing

Weeks after an army jawan from Telangana alleged that six acres of agricultural land belonging to his family had been encroached, the soldier's father has gone "missing" from his village.

S Swamy, who is posted in Jammu and Kashmir, suspected that his father has been kidnapped by those who had "grabbed" their land and said he came on leave Wednesday and also approached the police in this regard.

In a new video message, Swamy said: "My father has gone missing from Sunday (June 30). His phone is switched off. I have already stated that there is threat to my parents from the land grabbers.

I strongly suspect them (behind the missing of his father) and I request that they should be questioned and I am hopeful my father will return after they are inquired."
