The search for Subhan Ali, a 27-year-old Border Roads Organisation officer posted in Kargil, just got longer. The Indian Engineering Services (IES) officer is believed to have fallen into the Dras river in June last year, a month before he was going to get married. While his driver’s body was found, his never was. Now, a fortnight after defence minister Rajnath Singh said the DNA tests to confirm his identity are “in queue,” his family says they are caught in a limbo they have been “informally” told that the DNA samples have not matched but to get a death certificate, they’d have to wait over six years. And his salary dues remain stuck.
