Editor Anis-ur-Rehman still missing, police reluctant to register FIR
Anis-ur-Rehman, editor of Nada-e-Millat, has been missing since visiting the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad. His friend has been attempting to file an FIR without success.

Reports say Rehman's friend Sajid Shah has had to run from pillar to post to have the FIR filed but all in vain. He has tried hard to seek help for the editor's recovery.
