NAWABSHAH: Abdul Fatah Dahiri, whom the police suspected to be a terrorist killed in the Friday blast in Karachi, was buried in his village near Daulatpur on Saturday.

The funeral prayers for Dahiri, son of Yaqoob Dahiri, were offered in his village Sobho Dahiri, which were attended by a large number relatives and leaders of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz.

Abdul Jabbar, a brother of the killed man, told journalists that Abdul Fatah was innocent and they were shocked to know that he was killed in such an incident.

Another resident said the dead man belonged to a notable family of Daulatpur having land and business.

He said the dead had two wives, four children and three brothers. He lived in Karachi, where he was doing mobile phone business.
