KARACHI, Jan 28: Two young men died in a road accident on Sharea Faisal on Tuesday morning.

The police said Mohammed Irfan, aged 18, and Tariq Adnan Niazi, aged 19, were riding a motorcycle (KAM-7867) when they rammed into a parked vehicle (JX-9366) near Faisal Cantonment. Both men died on the spot.

The vehicle was parked on the left side of the main thoroughfare due to a flat tyre.

Apparently, the young men did not realize that a vehicle was parked there and rammed the motorcycle into it, police said.

The bodies were rushed to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for post- mortem.

LAID TO REST: A Pakistani young man who was recently killed in Jacksonville, Florida, US, was laid to rest in a graveyard at Model Colony.

Family sources said Faisal Saleem, aged 23, was abducted on Jan 6. Later, he was found murdered. A handsome amount of cash was also found missing from his possession.

His body was flown in late Monday night by a PIA flight.

Faisal had a shop of artificial jewellery in Florida that he had sold and was planning to return to Karachi for good.
