KARACHI:
The bullet riddled body of District Coordination Officer Gwadar, Abdul Rehman Dasti was found from a car in Defence Phase V, Karachi, on early Tuesday morning. Police found the car, a Black Toyota Corolla, GR 002, parked outside a bungalow on Khayaban-e-Tanzeem, with the DCO still inside, but riddled with bullets. SP Clifton, Tariq Dharejo said that the victim had probably been shot while inside the car along with his attackers. He believed that the murder could possibly be the result of personal enmity. Police added that the car had been possibly moved away from the house where it was initially parked before police found it. Dasti was visiting Karachi on official business.  A heavy contingent of police has reached the spot and is investigating the matter. Two gatekeepers in the immediate vicinity of the incident have been arrested by police for questioning.
