GWADAR: Four bullet-riddled bodies were found on Friday in Balochistan, three in the Dashat area of Kech district and one in the Cheetkan area of Panjgur district, sources said.

Officials of the Levies Force said the residents of Dashat area informed them about the presence of three bodies in Balnigore.

The corpses were taken to the Turbat district hospital, where they were identified as those of Inayatullah, Abdul Waheed and Mohammad Aslam, they said. All the victims were residents of the Kombail area of Dashat.

However, some sources alleged that the bodies were those of the men who had surrendered themselves to the authorities after denouncing militancy a few months ago.

They said the militants had kidnapped them about two months ago and now their bodies had been found.

The fourth corpse, found in the Cheetkan area, was moved to the Panjgur district hospital. The name of the victim could not be immediately ascertained.
