The recovery ends the search for Inspector Shahwani and his friend, former CTD corporal Rehman, both of whom had gone missing on June 21 after leaving Shahwani’s residence in the Killi Barat area of Jinnah Town.
Meanwhile, Constable Farid had been missing since his alleged abduction from the Mangi Dam area, while retired Havaldar Sadiq had also been unaccounted for before the discovery.
Security forces cordoned off the area to collect forensic evidence and launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Official statements on the incident are still awaited from the authorities.
