Quetta [Balochistan], November 4 (ANI): Balochistan has witnessed a fresh surge in targeted killings, with at least five bodies recovered and a young man shot dead in separate incidents across the province, underscoring the persistent atmosphere of fear and insecurity in the region.
The disturbing events unfolded in multiple areas of Kech district and nearby regions, leaving families devastated and demanding justice, The Balochistan Post reported.
In Turbat’s Tump area, a young man identified as Abdul Rehman, son of Tariq Noor, was fatally shot on Sunday by unidentified gunmen. Witnesses said the assailants opened fire in front of the victim’s father before fleeing the scene. Police arrived shortly after, collected evidence, and began an investigation, though the motive behind the attack remains unclear.
In another incident, four bodies were discovered in the rugged terrain of Jarain in Buleda. The deceased were identified as Zakir and Razzaq, both sons of Abdullah, along with Sadiq and Peer Jan.
According to local accounts, three of the victims were residents of Zirdan Kucha in Buleda, while the fourth belonged to Bat Kore Pusht in Jarain Bazaar. Family members said the four had gone for a picnic nearly a week ago and had since gone missing. Their phones were switched off, prompting families to seek help through social media appeals. Reports indicate that the bodies were found mutilated and their motorcycles burned. Relatives and locals later traveled to retrieve the remains.
Separately, another body, identified as Ismail, son of Nazir from Kahnak, was recovered from the Apsar stream in Mand, also in Kech district. Police said locals spotted the body between Jalalabad and Talab.
Ismail had reportedly been abducted around twenty days earlier from the Bodeg Dam area by unidentified men. His bullet-ridden body was handed over to his family after formal procedures.
While investigations are ongoing, no group has claimed responsibility for the killings, and authorities remain uncertain about the motives behind the attacks. (ANI)
