Moreover, Faisal, son of Hanif Bugti, and Shah Hussain, son of Shah Gul Bugti, were also detained by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) from the Labour Quarter of Sui Field Fence but both were released later in the evening.

On the other hand, the family of Bahadur Chakar, a resident of Tejaban area of Kech district, continued their sit-in protest against the forced disappearance by the Pakistan Army for the second day today.

On Saturday night, Pakistani forces allegedly raided the house of a young man named Bahadur Chakar in Tejaban Sang Kalat and detained him, after which his whereabouts remained undisclosed. Following the incident, the family and the locals blocked the M-8 CPEC highway and suspended traffic by staging a sit-in protest against the forced disappearance of the youth.

The family members spent last night on the China Pakistan Economic Route (CPEC) route, while the sit-in continued for the second day today.

It should be noted that forced disappearances have been ongoing in Balochistan for decades, and in the last 24 hours, seven more Baloch students were detained from two districts of Balochistan and subsequently shifted to unknown locations, allegedly by Pakistani law-enforcement agencies. (ANI)
