According to reports, Haji Lashkar Khan Bangulzai, regional head of operations for MCB Bank’s Khuzdar region, and Khalid Gichki, regional head of sales, were travelling from Khuzdar to Quetta on October 2, 2026, when armed men intercepted their vehicle near Rodeenjo at around 3 pm.
The armed men had established a checkpoint and were stopping and searching vehicles. They took both officials away along with their driver and vehicle, later releasing the driver.
