Killings continue: Bullet-riddled body found in Khuzdar

QUETTA: The bullet-riddled body of a young man was found in the Ferozabad area of Khuzdar district in Balochistan on Thursday, even as many parts of the province were observing a complete shut-down in protest against such killings. Police officials say the victim was identified, because of a slip left in his pocket, as Dil Jan, son of Duda Khan, and was a resident of the town of Mashky. “He was brutally tortured before killed,” said hospital sources. Jan is said to be a close relative of Allah Nizar, a Baloch separatist militant leader.
