An explosion occurred on Sultan Ibrahim Khan Road in the Khuzdar area, resulting in the tragic martyrdom of Station House Officer (SHO) Murad Jamoot from the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on Sunday.
According to the police, the SHO of CTD lost his life in the blast, and two others sustained injuries. Upon the police team’s arrival at the scene, the SHO’s body was promptly transported to the hospital. It is noteworthy that a few months ago, SHO Sharbat Khan from CTD had also sacrificed his life.
In a separate development, a significant “Long March” protesting the Kech incident has reached Khuzdar, with a considerable number of participants, including men, women, and children. This march is scheduled to depart from Khuzdar to Quetta on Sunday.
SHO Turbat And Others Face Charges In Connection To Balochistan Youth Killing
Meanwhile, in a significant development, the police have taken a step towards accountability by filing a First Information Report (FIR) against several of its officials regarding the alleged fake encounter of a Baloch youth in Turbat city, Balochistan.
The FIR was initiated based on the complaint filed by the victim’s father, Maula Bakhsh, who specifically named an official from the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), the Station House Officer (SHO) of Turbat police station, and an investigation officer, among others.
The incident in question occurred on November 23, when the CTD claimed to have encountered and killed four alleged terrorists during a firefight on Pasni Road in Turbat. However, the victim’s father, in his FIR, asserted that his son, Balach, was abducted by unidentified individuals on October 29 and held at an undisclosed location.
According to Bakhsh, CTD investigation officer Abdullah produced Balach before a session judge on November 21, who subsequently approved a 10-day judicial remand. Shockingly, Bakhsh received the distressing news on November 23 that his son, along with three others, had been killed in what he deemed a “fake encounter.”
