Recovered: Bodies of Baloch missing persons found

Bodies bore marks of torture and multiple bullet wounds, say hospital officials.

QUETTA:


Two bullet-riddled bodies of Baloch missing persons were found dumped in the Murghab area of Turbat on Thursday, the police said.


According to local police officials, some passersby spotted the bodies and informed the police.

The bodies were shifted to the District Headquarters hospital where they were identified as Arfaat and Abdul Karim.


Local police officer Abdul Qadir confirmed that both victims were listed as missing weeks ago.

“The bodies bore marks of torture and multiple bullet wounds,” hospital sources said. According to sources, Arfat was whisked away while travelling from Turbat to Quetta a month ago and Abdul Karim went missing two weeks back.

As many as 200 mutilated and bullet-riddled bodies of Baloch missing persons have been recovered in different parts of the province during the last two years.
