In a startling development, the bereaved relatives of Balach, son of Mula Bakhsh, have taken to the streets in a protest decrying his alleged extrajudicial killing in a staged encounter by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in Turbat, Balochistan.
The grieving families launched a sit-in at Shaheed Fida Chowk last night, expressing their unwavering commitment to continue the protest until justice prevails for Balach. The incident, which unfolded just yesterday, has left the entire community in a state of shock, prompting a widespread outcry for accountability.
Balach, accompanied by four others, was reported to have been fatally shot during the supposed encounter in Turbat. Disturbingly, his relatives claim that Balach was presented in court a mere two days ago by the CTD, securing a ten-day physical remand. The shocking turn of events has fueled allegations that he, along with the other detainees, fell victim to what the families firmly believe was a staged and unjust killing.
The protesters remain resolute in their demand for justice, pledging to persist with the sit-in at Shaheed Fida Chowk until a formal First Information Report (FIR) is filed for Balach’s alleged murder. The atmosphere at the protest site is charged with emotion as families and supporters unite in their quest for answers and accountability.
It is crucial for authorities to address the concerns of the grieving families promptly. The calls for a transparent and thorough investigation into the alleged extrajudicial killing are growing louder, with the community emphasizing the need for a fair inquiry to uncover the circumstances surrounding Balach’s untimely demise.
As the sit-in continues, the community’s gaze remains fixed on Shaheed Fida Chowk, awaiting resolution and justice for Balach. His tragic killing has sparked a fervent plea for accountability from Pakistani authorities, resonating throughout Balochistan.
