DADU, Dec 4: The bullet-riddled body of a taxi driver was found on Tuesday on the Wahi Pandhi-Johi link road, some five kilometres away from Johi town.

Taxi driver Munwar Birhamani, resident of the Excise Colony of Dadu town, was hired two days ago from the town’s taxi stand and had since been missing.

According to police, they received information that a body was lying on the Wahi Pandhi-Johi link road. When they took it to the taluka hospital of Johi, it was identified as that of Munwar Birhamani, a taxi driver of Dadu.

Later, the body was handed over to the relatives.

Medical officer of the taluka hospital Dr Jan Mohammad Solangi told local reporters that Munwar had been killed at least 15 to 16 hours earlier.

The relatives, some taxi drivers and local people held a demo on Tuesday at the SSP chowk to demand arrest of the killers.—BoC
