NOWSHERA: Six bullet-riddled bodies were found at the confluence of River Indus and River Kabul in the Nizampur area of Nowshera district on Saturday.
Nizampur police official Saleem Khan told The Express Tribune, that a fisherman informed them at noon that he had spotted multiple bodies on the junction where both rivers meet.
Police rushed to the scene and shifted the bodies to the police station for identification.
According to the official, no one has come forward to claim the bodies.
“No NICs were found with the bodies,” he said. “However, all six men seem to be between 28 to 34 years old.”
The bodies do not bear any torture marks, Khan added.
Initial investigations have revealed that all six men were gunned down in an undisclosed location and their bodies were dumped into River Kabul.
According to Khan, the bodies were taken to District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) Nowshera for autopsy and subsequently placed in a morgue.
“If no one comes by Sunday morning, we will perform the last rites and bury the bodies,” he added.
A case has been registered and further investigations are under way.

@nasir: What kind of response is that. Police being depoliticised does not mean that no crime will take place. This shows the mind set of the noonies which want the police to do their dirty work by killing unarmed civilians or saving thugs like Rana Sanaullah. Second thing is the bodies were dumped in river kabul which could be done at any place not just in KPK. So get your facts straight before talking.
Just another day in the land of pure...
I beseech the PML-n to oust PTI from KPK by forming a coalition government. The people off KPK deserve better than the wretched PTI and they're madman of a leader
@nasir: Shows how hollow the claims are about PTI's Naya Pakistan. They are the first to jump and blame all that this wrong in the nation for the last 67 years on the 18 month government of PML N. Why not blame all that is wrong in KPK for the last decades on PTI at the provincial level? After all, it's easy to do dharnas and chant but it's hard to work within an imperfect system called democracy over many years. This should be an eye opener to brainwashed PTI followers who worship Imran Khan instead of working for society and real improvement.
