The body of a Pakistani police constable, who was kidnapped by terrorists on Thursday, was recovered from mountains near Land Ahmadkhel area of Lakki Marwat district, media reports said on Sunday.

The slain constable was identified as Farmanullah.

He was serving as the Frontier Reserve Police constable.

An official told Dawn News a group of terrorists intercepted the policeman at gunpoint near the village and took him away.

“The body was shifted to Government City Hospital for autopsy," he said.

He said a police contingent later reached the rural area to find the terrorists.
