DERA ISMAIL KHAN, April 6: The body of a young man, who went missing in December last, was found in the hilly area of Sheikh Budin on Friday.

Niamatullah, 22, son of Ghani-ur-Rehman or the Khan Corona village, had gone to Kali Corona village on Dec 25 to call on Ghazi Marian, son of Nab Khan.

He did not come back to his house and all efforts to trace him failed.

On Friday, his mutilated body was discovered in bushes by a villager, Jalil.

Niamatullah’s brothers have lodged an FIR with the Panyala police and nominated Ghazi Marjan, Qadir Khan and Muhammad Nawaz as suspects.

None of the accused had been arrested till the filing of this report on Saturday.
