Yes. In fact the body has been released by Afghan government to Pakistan's Interior Minister of State Shehryar Afridi. This smells of NDS inolvement. To kidnap the SP from a suburb of Islamabad and smuggle him into Afghanistan smacks of foul play.

Afghan officials on Thursday handed over the body of
martyred Superintendent of Police (SP) Tahir Khan Dawar to a Pakistani delegation led by Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi at the Torkham border.
SP Dawar, who was chief of Peshawar police’s rural circle, was kidnapped in the G-10/4 area of Islamabad on October 26, and his body was found in a remote area of the Afghan province of Nangarhar.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Afghan officials had initially refused to hand over the police official's body to Pakistani authorities. However, they later handed over the body to Afridi, who was also accompanied by KP Information Minister Shaukat Yousufzai — the latter confirmed.
MNA Mohsin Dawar was also present at the Torkham border at the time SP Dawar's body was transferred to Pakistan.
The martyred police officer's body was then dispatched to Peshawar via a helicopter. His funeral prayer will be held at Civil Lines Peshawar, whereas his burial will take place in Hayatabad.
Tahir, the Peshawar SP (rule zone), had left his house in Islamabad for a walk on Oct 27 but didn’t return.
On Wednesday, Afghan officials had confirmed that a tortured body found in Nangarhar was indeed that of Dawar, said the Foreign Office (FO).
