At least five Baloch men were allegedly forcibly disappeared in separate raids across Balochistan and Punjab, while one previously missing man has returned home, families and local sources said.
In Balochistan’s coastal Gwadar district, local sources said Pakistani intelligence agencies detained Sakhi, a resident of Pasni Kulanch, on April 27 while he was working at a petrol pump in Ormara, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Sources added he had earlier been forcibly disappeared in 2018 and remained missing for four years before being released in 2022.
In Punjab’s Dera Ghazi Khan district, family members said Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel detained a former army serviceman, Dost Muhammad Baloch, at around 5:30 p.m. on April 23 from a military cement factory in Shadanlund, where he worked as a security guard. They said he was transferred to an undisclosed location and demanded he be produced before a court or released.
In Quetta, 26-year-old Razzaq Baloch was taken from the Sariab Road area by Frontier Corps (FC) personnel late at night on April 27, his family said, adding that he was picked up from the main road near his house and has remained missing since.
Separately, residents in Kech district’s Tump Gomazi area said Pakistani forces carried out a night-time house-to-house operation and took two men, identified as Bohair, son of Chairman Dost Muhammad, and Mehrab, son of Wahid. They said the men were moved to an undisclosed location.
Residents alleged that personnel entered homes and harassed people, including women and children, and said mobile phones, motorcycles and other items were taken during the searches.
Meanwhile, the family of Zubair Ahmed, a resident of Dalbandin in Chagai district, said he returned home on April 18 after being missing since December 9, 2025.
Pakistani authorities and security officials did not immediately comment on the allegations.
