Mr. Achakzai disappeared on September 25 last year when he came to Quetta from Chaman to attend a party conference.
His mutilated, bullet-riddled body was found Saturday when police arrested a member of Lewis’s Force confessing to the murder and identified the location where he had stored his body.
Meanwhile, in his village near Chaman, Pak Achakzai’s funeral prayers were held under heavy guard, and then he was buried there.
