Two separate incidents related to missing persons have been reported from Awaran and Turbat districts of Balochistan, involving the recovery of a body in one case and the safe return of a missing student in another.
In the first incident, the local administration in Jhaoo, Awaran, recovered the body of a man later identified as Hamza son of Noor Jan. According to local sources, Hamza had allegedly been taken from the Ornach area of Khuzdar about five days earlier. Some reports claim he had been abducted by a pro-government armed group and handed over to Pakistani security forces. Authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the circumstances of his death.
In a separate development, in Turbat, Balach Dilwash, a student of the eighth grade who was reported missing on 21 October from the Apsar Balochi Bazaar area, has been recovered. According to local reports, the Levies Force handed him over to his family on Monday.
Earlier, Balach’s relatives had held a press conference at the Turbat Press Club, providing details about his disappearance and appealing for his recovery. No official statement has been released regarding the circumstances of his detention or release.
Both incidents highlight ongoing concerns in Balochistan regarding enforced disappearances and the lack of official communication from the relevant authorities.
