[DAWN] KARACHI: Three unidentified young men were found rubbed out in Surjani Town on Monday, police said.Circumstantial evidence suggested that they had been kidnapped somewhere before being brought in a vehicle near a gas plant, off the Northern Bypass, where they were rubbed out with a 9mm pistol, said an official of the Surjani cop shoppe.
He said the police Sherlocks found five spent bullet casings at the crime-scene.
The official said that a police van passing through the area spotted the three bodies there at 5:30am and informed the Surjani cop shoppe about them.
The bodies were taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for a post-mortem examination, he said, while quoting hospital officials as saying that they aged between 30 and 40 years.
Surjani SHO Bashir Ahmed said that each suspect sustained a gunshot wound each in the head and chest.
Following the medico-legal formalities, the bodies were shifted to the Edhi morgue for want of identification, the officer added.
Speaking to Dawn, SSP West Irfan Baloch said that the dear departed, clad in shalwar kameez, wore long beards.
Surjani Town is one of the areas on the outskirts of the city where the bodies of several 'missing' activists of political and religious groups have been found earlier this year. On Feb 18, a prayer leader, who had been missing since Jan 11, was among the four persons found rubbed out in Surjani near Zero Point.
When asked about their identity, the police officer said that the four bodies found on Feb 18 were later identified as suspected gunnies belonging to Quaidabad, Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Surjani Town.
