Balochistan: Dead Body of Turbat Resident Found in Rask

QUETTA: On Wednesday, December 19, 2024, the bullet-riddled body of a Baloch citizen was discovered by fuel carriers at the Pirkor border in Rask County, in Iranian-Occupied Balochistan.

The deceased was later identified as Sajid Akbar, a resident of the Apsar area in Turbat, Pakistan-Occupied Balochistan.

The body, which showed signs of severe bullet wounds, was found in the “Tank Dap Pirkor” area, with the victim’s eyes covered by cloth.

A white Toyota Land Cruiser was found parked next to the body.

According to sources, Sajid Akbar had previously been affiliated with a pro-freedom Baloch armed organisation but later surrendered to Pakistani forces.

Sajid’s family had previously demanded his release during a press conference at the Turbat Press Club on May 24, 2024. During the press conference, Sajid’s sister said: “Under daily pressure from the Pakistani army to force my brother’s surrender, Sajid finally gave in and surrendered to the Pakistani army under the guarantee of Zakir son of Abdul Rauf.

“However, after his surrender, when we approached Zakir, he repeatedly told us that the army and intelligence agencies had not provided him with any information about Sajid’s situation.”

At the time of filing this report, there had been no immediate response from Sajid’s family following the discovery of his body.

This incident highlights what appears to be a new phase in the collective conspiracy by Pakistan and Iran against the Baloch people, as Sajid was disappeared in Pakistan-Occupied Balochistan was later found dead in Iranian-Occupied Balochistan.

Earlier, Baloch leader Wahid Kambar was abducted from Kerman, Iran, and transferred to Pakistan without detection at several Iranian checkpoints along the way. Pakistani authorities have yet to publicly acknowledge his arrest or confirm his custody.
