KARACHI, Dec 7: The bullet-riddled body of a 38-year-old man was found in Block G of North Nazimabad.

The body was shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

Sources at the hospital’s medico-legal section told Dawn that the victim, who hailed from Pakpattan, had received multiple bullets from a very close range as the bullets had gone through his body.
