However, they added, no progress had been made so far towards his recovery.They said the missing youth's family feared for his life, and appealed to the Sukkur DIG and SSP, as well as the higher authorities, to take immediate measures for the safe recovery of Sahil Kumar, according to Dawn.The religious minorities in Pakistan live in fear as the cases against them are on the rise.Earlier, a case of police officer's wrongful actions against religious freedom disclosed when Sindh Human Rights Commission took notice of it.According to videos doing the rounds of social media platforms, the policeman was seen preventing a shopkeeper from demonstrating his community's religious sentiments."The act goes against Article 20 of the Constitution, which guarantees the freedom to profess and manage religious institutions.
