An illegal immigration agent reportedly set on fire seven Pakistanis who he had smuggled to Turkey, Express 24/7 reported on Monday.
The agent allegedly burnt the illegal immigrants to death over what appears to be a financial dispute.
Two of the seven bodies have arrived in Pakistan.
Mohammad Fayyaz and Zulqernain, both belonging to Jhelum, had paid money to an agent three months ago and reached Turkey with five other men where they were reportedly burnt to death.
There are no details available about the incident or the circumstances in which they were killed.
The bodies have been sent back to Islamabad and the funeral prayers have also been offered.
The father of Zulqarnain said that grave injustice has been done and demanded an inquiry intro the matter.

@gp65: Well said.
This is a tragedy.. justice should be served...Imran Khan said in his speech on Sunday that under his rule, he will work towards that day when people from around the world will come to Pakistan to find jobs - hope we see that day!

I do not think that he is supporting this incident or deriving any pleasure from it. He probably remembers Gojra and the fact that many people justified burning those Christians. We can rewrite history but when 9/11 happened people were dancing in Pakistani streets. So he is just pointing out that the even in death, support is given only to people of the same faith whereas misfortunes of people of other faith are blissfully ignored by many.
Why should we be sad over those meeting their end while doing something that is ILLEGAL!

ET, there was no need to put 'sad' music in the background.
@MarkH and Prashant... shame on you
@MarkH : totally agree with you.
Why do these people want to go, we hear people facing a lot every year. we Pakistanis abuse the west in rallies, but once it comes to going to the west, we would even risk our lives.
To think, if the labels on those involved were a little different, you guys would probably be supporting it.

Drug and human traffickers should receive draconic sentences! They are parasites as they capitalise on the grievances of the poverty-stricken ones and exploit them,
This must be investigated by Both Pak & Turkey Governments on high level! this insane & highly disturbing news.
