Harbans had gone to Malaysia in August 2018 on a tourist visa, where he was taken into custody on grounds unknown to his family. “His (Harbans’) family has disclosed that he had gone to Malaysia in August 2018 on a tourist visa. However, the family is unaware as to on what grounds the Malaysian police has taken him in custody,” the letter read. A copy of the youth’s Aadhaar card, an abstract of the electoral roll and his photograph were enclosed with the letter as proof of his Indian citizenship.
