In a viral video, Rukhsar said, “...Yesterday at 4 pm, my father Abdul Hameed, my two brothers Sarfaraz, Faheem and another youth with them were picked up by the UP STF. I don't know where they are. My husband Osama and my brother-in-law Shahid have already been picked up. No news is being received about them from any police station. We fear that they may be killed in a fake encounter. I request PM Modi and UP CM Yogi for the safety of my family members."
