On Thursday, a woman was reportedly kidnapped by gunmen belonging to a tribal chief in Khuzdar city, Balochistan. In response to the incident, the victim’s family and local residents staged a protest by blocking the main Quetta-Karachi highway near Awami Hotel.
According to Muhammad Ramzan Shahuzai, the father of the abducted woman and a resident of Khuzdar, several armed men in two vehicles forcefully entered their house in Khuzdar’s Sunni area. They assaulted the household members and took away his daughter, Farzana Ramzan.
In his complaint to the Deputy Commissioner of Khuzdar, the father named the gunmen as Majeed Chanal, Abdul Karim (son of Karam Khan Shahuzai), and Muhammad Chanal, who were reportedly sent by tribal leader Mir Ilyas (son of Rahim Khan Zehri). He also alleged that the orders for his daughter’s abduction came from Muhammad Hamza (son of Muhammad Ramzan) and Muhammad Ramzan (son of Mir Ahmed Boobak).
It is worth mentioning that these individuals, including Majeed Chanal, have been associated with former Chief Minister of Balochistan Nawab Sanaullah Zehri in Khuzdar and have been allegedly involved in similar incidents in the past.
In response to the kidnapping, the abducted woman’s family members organized a sit-in on the Quetta-Karachi national highway, causing a traffic blockade for several hours. Eventually, the local authorities intervened and resolved the situation through negotiations, leading to the dispersal of the protesters.
The father of the abducted woman has appealed to the higher authorities, including the Deputy Commissioner of Khuzdar, to safely recover his daughter and held the state responsible for incessant abductions and suppression.
