Several incidents have been reported from different parts of Balochistan, including the recovery of unidentified and mutilated bodies and the alleged enforced disappearance of a man in Hub.
In Kech district, the body of an unidentified young man was recovered from the Jantri Kor stream in the Buleda area. Local sources said the body bore bullet wounds, indicating death by gunfire. The motive behind the killing remains unknown. The body was shifted to a nearby hospital for medico-legal procedures.
Meanwhile, in Musa Khel district of Loralai division, three mutilated bodies were found in the Rara Sham area earlier this week. Following preliminary investigations, two of the deceased were identified as Fareed, son of Anwar Jan, a resident of Dukki Killi Safar Ali Baloch, and Mujeeb ur Rehman, son of Khair Muhammad, from Killi Zangiwal Kadezai in Loralai. The third body has yet to be identified. Sources said all three bodies were recovered in severely disfigured condition, raising concerns of torture. The bodies were transferred to a local hospital for legal formalities.
Separately, an incident of enforced disappearance was reported from Hub. According to witnesses, Sohrab Baloch, son of Amin Yaqoob, was detained from the Baloch Colony area by personnel of the Frontier Corps (FC) accompanied by officials of the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD). Witnesses said the arrest was carried out in broad daylight without the presentation of a warrant, and the family was not informed of the reasons for his detention or his whereabouts.
Family members stated that Sohrab Baloch has previously been subjected to enforced disappearance on two occasions. He was allegedly abducted for four days in 2017 and again in 2019, when he remained missing for 40 days before being released. They said no case is currently pending against him in any court and demanded that, if there are allegations, he should be produced before a court of law in accordance with legal procedures.
These incidents come amid continued reports of violence, enforced disappearances and recoveries of unidentified bodies across Balochistan, where rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns over the deteriorating security and human rights situation.
