On what ground case as “Refugees” from Jhelum was granted by UK authorities and how did they (his family) get asylum in UK and on what ground? Jhelum city of Pakistan has never faced any war like situation or had never faced terrorism wave.
In early 90s, Pakistan had been a country out of any terrorism map and a family from a central Punjab city was granted status of “Refugees” by UK authorities.

“We spoke about a particular attack that happened and like most radicals he had a justification for anything and everything and that day I realized I needed to contact the authorities. I phoned the anti-terror hotline. I spoke to the gentleman. I told him about our conversation and why I think he was radicalized”.
