Police in Khairpur recovered two bodies on Sunday in separate incidents, including one young man who appeared to have been tortured to death.

In the first case, the naked body of a youth, identified as Darvesh, son of Sayed Fayaaz Shah, was found near the Sui Gas area. Authorities said Darvesh was tortured before his body was dumped in an open field. His body was taken to Taluka Hospital Tharimirwah for postmortem examination.

Darvesh’s father, Sayed Imdad Ali Shah, told local media that his family had no known enemies but was devastated by the brutal murder of his son.

Police have registered a case and launched an investigation, though no suspects could be arrested at the time of reporting.

In a separate incident, the body of an unidentified man was recovered from a canal near Kot Diji. The body was sent to Taluka Hospital Kot Diji for an autopsy and identification.
