KARACHI: Unknown miscreants dumped an Iqra University student in Karachi's Akhtar Colony on Thursday night after setting him on fire.
According to police, unknown persons in a car threw the body of the abducted student of Iqra University in Akhtar Colony, set fire to him and fled.
The victim, identified as Haris Javed, was immediately shifted to Civil Hospital where his condition is now reported as out of danger.
Police said he was kidnapped four days ago, but details surrounding his abduction are not yet known.
A threatening letter was also recovered from the victim's pocket, warning of similar actions if the 'military operation' did not end.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against unknown persons at the Baloch Colony police station in accordance with the student's statement. Police have rejected the possibility of terrorism and have termed the incident the result of a personal dispute.

A "personal dispute" or not, it was such a ghastly crime. It should be tried in military court.

How would you link a personal dispute to an on-going military operation?

its quite probable that this is a personal dispute. This method is not really the extremist style. Kidnapped 4 days ago without any ransom etc. Its easier to get out of a crime by blaming it on militancy. Kind of like what two jokers tried to do to their school earlier.

@Indian The pakistani public unlike Indian one, do not target Minorities. Yes, extremists and criminal gangs after their belongings may do. This does look like a extortion that did not deliver dividends, hence the inhumane treatment. But they will get caught, now that the victim survived. Hope he recovers and sees them hang after ATC verdict.

Well the story going around is very interesting. Apparently the guy went to a sheesha cafe with a girl, with whom he was having an affair and then this incident happened. Now look at the guy, his version and the truth unearthed. Decide for yourself what kind of a nation we are despite having religion displayed on our sleeves.

@Ahmad Well My friend, you underestimate humans. Humans are capable of much more harmful act that can even make the predator's down to their knees. Hitler, hulagu, changez, etc .They were all human .

@Ashraf Mirza (USA)
A religion is only as good as it's followers.
One keeps repeating safai nisf iman hai and every morning I see them throw garbage on the streets.
No one cares what the religion says, people see and care about the actions only.

@Harmony But how can police so easily and so early and pre-maturely term it as a result of personal enmity ? at a time when even any investigation is yet to start ? How can an act of terrorism be ruled out without any probe ???

Whenever such type of crimes happen in Karachi, why does my mind turn to a political party to find its involvement in it?
