Two Sikhs who were kidnapped for ransom were found beheaded by the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistan's restive tribal belt in yet another brutal act by the militants.
Some more members of the minority community are still in the custody of the rebels. The body of Jaspal Singh was found in the Khyber tribal region, located a short distance from the provincial capital of Peshawar, while the body of Mahal Singh was found in the Aurakzai Agency, sources told PTI on Satrurday night.
There was some confusion about the total number of Sikhs who were kidnapped for ransom from the Bara area of Khyber Agency by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.
A source said four Sikhs were abducted while another report said the total number of kidnapped persons was six. The Sikhs were kidnapped 34 days ago and the Taliban had demanded Rs 30 million as ransom for their release.
Two of the kidnapped Sikhs were beheaded after the expiry of the deadline for the payment of the ransom, sources said.
According to a North West Frontier Province minister Bashir Ahmed, three Sikhs having business in Federally Administered Tribal Areas were kidnapped by Taliban and one of them was 'slaughtered' by them.
"They (Taliban) sent his body to Peshawar," he said. Gurvinder Singh and Gurjit Singh are still in the custody of the militants, sources said.
