KARACHI: Two young men were found shot dead in Mochko on Sunday, police said.

They added that the bullet-riddled bodies of two men aged between 30 and mid-40s were found in a hilly area near Salar Goth on Hub River Road.

Their hands and feet were tied with ropes and bullets were fired on their head and chest, said City SSP Sheeraz Nazeer.

Bullets fired from a 0.9mm pistol were found at the spot. It appeared that the men were kidnapped, brought there and gunned down late on Saturday night, the police added.

“From their appearance, the victims looked to be Baloch,” SSP Nazeer said.

Mochko is adjoining to Balochistan, where bodies of ‘missing’ persons and Lyari gang-warfare victims had been found.

On Nov 2, five bodies with bullet wounds were found in the same area.

On Oct 27, three bodies of ‘missing’ Baloch workers were found in the deserted place.
