He said that after that, Bilal spoke to his friend and he told telling that he is going to Islamabad and that if you needed anything, tell him. After that, when I called Bilal, I could not talk because Bilal did not pick up the phone, I thought that he must have fallen asleep.
Similarly, I called again at eleven o’clock and half past twelve, but Bilal did not pick up the phone. I was worried but kept thinking that Bilal must be sleeping.
According to the father, he sat in the mosque late at night and called Bilal but could not get in touch. Then I thought that Bilal would wake up and see that Baba had made so many calls, so he would call himself, but Bilal’s phone did not come.
Ahmed Yar said that on Monday morning I called a friend of Bilal who went to the room and saw that the door was locked from inside.

Abrar says ‘We tried to break the door, but despite trying several times, the door did not break.

Bilal Pasha CSS
When Bilal came to the public for the first time after passing the competitive exam, there was a heated debate on social media regarding those who do CSS. It was said that only the children of elite class and influential families could pass this test.
Standing in front of the brick wall with his speechless father Bashir Ahmed, Bilal Pasha told the story of his struggle, which immediately went viral on social media.
In the year 2019, he got the 85th position in the CSS exam and was posted in the Military Lands and Cantonment Department.
He had done various 17th-grade government jobs before clearing the CSS exam and, according to him, was drawn to government jobs only at the insistence of his father.
Standing with his father, Bilal told the story of his continuous hard work and struggle in the video and said, “This is my proud father Bashir Ahmed who has worked all his life. Alhamdulillah, I am very proud that I am the son of a laborer.” ‘
“Only two or three people in my family have matriculated and after that, no one even made it to Inter. Both my father and mother did not receive formal education.
This was his response to those who were insisting that the CSS could only be the spectacle of influential families.
He further said ‘I got my primary education from Maktab School. Then completed matriculation and FSC from government school and college.
Explaining Maktab School System In the past, these schools were built in mosques to provide formal education to children in remote areas.
Bilal Pasha said that he studied at this school where minor and major A, B, C are taught up to sixth grade.
After school, he studied at the Agricultural University of Faisalabad and that too with successive government scholarships.
Bilal Pasha also said at the end of this video that after reaching Lahore, I will organize lectures along with fellow CSS toppers for students who cannot afford admission to good academics.
Fulfilling this promise, apart from YouTube videos, he taught students various subjects including American history in CSS, and also gave guidance related to the exam.
On Bilal’s YouTube channel ‘Learn with Bilal’, he published a video for students nine days ago in which he guided the CSS screening test ie MCQs Based Preliminary Test (MPT).
