Mozang Police handcuffed Younis Joseph, who was found with his throat slit open and hands tied at the Qartaba Chowk about two weeks ago, at Services Hospital to prevent him from escaping, sources told Pakistan Today on Friday.
Unidentified men had tortured and left Joseph in the bushes on the green belt located on the junction where Ferozepur Road meets Jail Road. Joseph had been left to bleed to death with his throat slit open and hands tied. The police have not yet reached a breakthrough as the victim cannot speak since his windpipe was slit.
Investigation sources said Younis was unable to speak, however, he gave three addresses to police in writing, two in Model Town and one in Karachi. Investigators visited the two addresses in Model Town but found no clue. However, after hearing of the Karachi address, police investigators concluded that he belonged to Karachi and was trying to hide his identity.
Investigators said he acted afraid when police investigators visit him. They said they found him suspicious and felt he would escape the hospital and therefore they handcuffed him from escaping. Investigators said investigations were underway and it looked like Younis Joseph was an addict but they could not be sure.
