KHUZDAR: Tortured bodies of a man and a woman — with their hands and feet tied — were found in Zeedi area of Khuzdar district on Friday.

After the residents alerted the local administration about the presence of the bodies, the Levies Force rushed to the site and shifted the bodies to a district hospital in Khuzdar.

Doctors said the victims died of torture as several marks were visible on their bodies, which seemed to be at least four days old.

The victims could not be immediately identified. The Levies Force has started an investigation into the incident.
