The police recovered two dead bodies including a local employee of the German Embassy from Rawal Dam on Wednesday.
The Secretariat police recovered the body of Saidpur resident Faiz Ali, 30, an employee in the visa section of German Embassy, and Ashar Ali of Rawalpindi, after a watchman at Rawal Dam informed the police about two bodies floating in the water.
The police reached the spot and collected the bodies after fishing out of the lake. Faiz Ali’s body was then handed over to the Aapbara police, as a kidnapping case naming him as the victim was registered with at Aabpara Police Station a few days back.
A police official said that the medical report confirmed that Faiz was strangulated, and that the boy was believed to be romantically involved with a girl living in Bhara Kahu. The girl is being considered a suspect, and a police team had been dispatched to arrest her.
Faiz’s parents told the police that they did not recognise the second body recovered by the police. According to the police, the deaths appear to be unrelated. However, they are still investigating.
Ashar Ali, the other deceased, was suspected to have committed suicide, according to a police source, who also said that the deceased had been a victim of depression for four years.

Dear Akhtter Ali first of all thanks for your words you said about my brother but to be very honest since the day Faiz Ali was missing till the day he was found dead the police was saying trust us believe us but I new that this was done preplanned up till this moment the police is saying that we are doing our best but me and my family knows that they are doing nothing. We are requesting to IG Police Islamabad that please transferred our case to CID before its too late. We need justice and help of all of you please help us.
Best Regards

I knew Faiz Ali and have spoken with his family. It appears to be a case of Honour Killing where girl's family have strangled him. I am shocked beyond belief. It is painful to even think that someone could take Faiz's life like this. Who in Islamabad has not been romantically involved with a girl? Why such a big punishment.
What you must remember that the animals who have killed a 23 year old boy would not be punished by law. who would provide justice to his family?
