KARACHI: Four decomposed bodies were found off Superhighway in Gadap area of the metropolis on Sunday, said a police official.

Giving details, the official added that the bodies were recovered from an abandoned building of National Highway Authority near Edhi Village.

“The corpses are around at least one month old as they have turned into skeletons,” said Gadap City SHO Abdul Khaliq Marvat.

“They all appeared to be men.”

The bodies were shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for post-mortem examination. The identities of the bodies will be ascertained after the examination.

Gadap is considered as one of the troubled areas in the metropolis where the bodies of ‘missing’ persons have been found in recent past.
