16 dead bodies have been recovered from a mass grave in Kohat’s BoboKhel region near Nowshehra, the police confirmed.
According to the police, all bodies have been removed from the grave and an investigation has been launched into the matter.
The bodies belong to labourers who had been kidnapped and murdered in 2011, with their bodies disposed off in the mountains, according to local news correspondent Syed Yasir Shah.
He added that there was little movement in the area due to the sensitive nature of its law and order, but a rescue operation had been launched today upon the request of the families of the deceased.
