Five people, including a 17-year-old truck conductor, have allegedly been forcibly disappeared in separate incidents in Balochistan’s Nushki and Kech districts, while women staged a sit-in outside a Frontier Corps (FC) camp in Turbat to demand the release of two of them.
According to local sources, Muhammad Adil, 17, son of Muhammad Waris and a resident of Qaziabad in Nushki, was taken into custody near an FC checkpoint close to Zamzama Hotel at around 1 pm on October 7, 2026. Adil works as a truck conductor. The sources said his family had received no information about his whereabouts since his detention.
In a separate incident, Khan, 19, son of Pir Bakhsh and a resident of Qaziabad, Nushki, was taken from his home at around 3 am on October 8 by personnel of the FC, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), according to local sources.
Another young man, Shay Mureed Jamaldini, 23, son of Ahmad Nawaz and a resident of Killi Batto in Nushki, was allegedly taken from his home by FC personnel at around 9 am on October 9.
The families of Khan and Shay Mureed Jamaldini are still awaiting information about their whereabouts and condition.
In Turbat’s Nasirabad area, local sources said FC personnel took two businessmen, identified as Mazar and Asim, from their shops at around 6:15 pm on Monday. Their families have received no information about their whereabouts or well-being.
Following the incident, women staged a sit-in outside the FC camp in Nasirabad, demanding the recovery of both men. No information about their release had emerged at the time of reporting.

Meanwhile, the protest camp organised by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) against enforced disappearances in Balochistan continued outside the Quetta Press Club for its 6,386th day.
During the protest, Bibi Shahina visited the camp and submitted details of her son Kamran Khan’s case to the organisation. She said Kamran, son of Azizullah, was taken into custody in front of family members on April 1, 2026, in Killi Kashmirabad on Qambrani Road in Quetta.
According to Shahina, those who detained her son assured the family that he would be released within three days after questioning. However, more than six months have passed, and Kamran Khan has neither been released nor has his family received any information about his whereabouts.
Shahina appealed to senior authorities to take steps to secure her son’s recovery and end the family’s prolonged uncertainty and distress.
VBMP chairman Nasrullah Baloch assured her that the organisation would raise Kamran Khan’s case with the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances and the government. He said VBMP would continue to raise the issue on all available platforms to seek Kamran Khan’s safe recovery.
The organisation called for the recovery of Kamran Khan and all other persons reported to have been forcibly disappeared in Balochistan.
