KARACHI: Police found dead body of a lawyer in Karachi’s Surjani Town on Thursday, in a nullah.

Advocate Farhat Ali Askari had left his home in North Nazimabad to meet his client in Gulshan-e-Maymar three days ago, according to the family.

The lawyer’s family received a call from his number the next day but the voice on the phone was not his. The caller said to the lawyer’s nephew that “your uncle should have thought before destroying someone’s house” and demanded Rs40 million.

The family received no further calls and the police found the body the next day.

Police arrested a suspect and further investigation is under way.
