Police sources said here on Monday that Abbas Ali Shah, resident of Kalu Kalah Village, reported to the Hazro police that his cousin Saqlain Shah had gone missing on Saturday and had not returned home till late night.

The next day, his body was found in an agricultural field near Musa Village.

He was later being shifted to a hospital in Rawalpindi when he succumbed to his head injuries.
