The body of Superintendent of Police (SP) Tahir Khan Dawar ─ who was abducted from Islamabad last month and found dead yesterday in Afghanistan ─ is expected to be handed over to Pakistan authorities tomorrow, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) information minister Shaukat Ali Yousafzai said in a statement on Wednesday.
Police and civil administration have been waiting at the Torkham border since Tuesday night to receive the slain SP’s body.
The body was earlier expected to be handed over to Pakistani authorities today. Yousafzai said a KP Police delegation had waited at the Torkham border crossing all day for SP Tahir’s body but were unsuccessful. He did not mention the reason of the delay.
Miram Sadaqat, the spokesperson of the Afghan Red Crescent, told DawnNewsTV that the organisation’s volunteers will transfer the body to the Torkham crossing as soon as Afghan authorities hand it over.
