KARACHI: Two men were found dead in mysterious circumstances in a hotel room near the Cantonment Station on Thursday.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Saddar Tauqeer Naeem said that Faizan, 22, and Shahnawaz, 29, were friends and had not left the room since Wednesday.
According to the FIR [First Information Report], Faizan was a resident of Karachi, whereas Shahnawaz hailed from Mianwali. Hotel staff alerted the police after they smelled a stench outside the room on Thursday afternoon. When the door was forced open, the two men were found dead inside. Police also found food near their bodies.
SP Naeem said there were no torture marks on the bodies of the deceased and expressed suspicion that the two had died after eating something poisonous. He said that the food found in the room would be sent to a laboratory for testing.
The bodies were sent to Jinnah Hospital for post-mortem.
