QUETTA:

A young man in Balochistan’s Pishin district was abducted and later brutally beaten to death by unidentified assailants, according to the law enforcement agency.

The paramilitary Levies Force said on Tuesday that they found a tortured body of 20-year-old Dad Muhammad who along with his friend reportedly abducted from Khanozai, a small town of district Pishin.

However, the security officials said the victim's friend was later released unhurt.

The motive behind the incident is yet to be ascertained, Levies officials said the body had been handed over to the victim’s family after fulfilling medico-legal formalities.

A case has been lodged in this regard and investigation is underway, they added.

The incident comes days after terrorists slaughtered 11 members of the Hazara community in a grisly methodical massacre claimed by an outlawed group.

It was the second deadliest attack in a week as seven Frontier Corps troops were martyred in a gunfight sparked off by a terrorist raid on a security check post in Harnai district on December 27.
