DIG Doda-Ramban range Gareeb Dass told the Excelsior that Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Mumbai had last reports that Laila Khan along with her mother Saleena Patel, sister, brother and cousin had traveled in the Scorpio up to Nehru Chowk in Jammu City last year along with Parvez Ahmed Tak of Kishtwar.
