The dead body of Amir Khan, a man who went missing from Adiyala Jail in 2010, was found in Peshawar on Monday. Media reports said Khan was arrested two years ago on charges of terrorism, but was acquitted by the court on May 28, 2010 because of lack of evidence. Ten other accused were also released by the court that day, however, they were taken away by unidentified men from outside the jail immediately after their release.
The Inter-Services Intelligence had later confirmed that Amir and the others were in its custody. His body was brought to Lady Reading Hospital where it was handed over to his relatives after identification. Whereabouts of the other missing inmates are yet to be ascertained.
