TEHRAN: Two Pakistanis have been killed in the Iranian city of Sarbaz. According to the victims’ families, the deceased were from Ahmadpur Sharqia and Karachi, and both worked at a barber shop in Iran.
Mujahid, who belonged to Bahawalpur, had been working in Iran for several years, according to his brother. He stated that the suspects not only killed his brother last night but also sent a video of the murder.
Farooq, the victim’s brother, said that the assailants had abducted Mujahid and demanded ransom. He has appealed to the government to help bring back his brother’s body.
