QUETTA: Two more bullet-riddled bodies of Baloch missing persons were recovered from a desolate place of Mastung, some 50 kilometers from provincial capital, on Thursday morning. The family members accused security forces of killings during their illegal detention.
Local people spotted the dead bodies in Ghanji Dori area of Mastung and informed the police about it. Bodies were taken to nearby hospital and later shifted to Quetta for autopsy where they have been identified as Faqir Mohammad Baloch, an employee of Cadet College, Mastung, and Zahoor Baloch, member of the Central Committee of BSO-Azad.
"The victims received single bullet each in their heads which passed through the skull and there were also signs and marks of tortures in their faces and other parts of bodies," hospital sources told The Baloch Hal.
"Both the victims were Baloch and i had received several dead bodies that had been killed in similar manner," the sources said.
Soon after being informed about recovery of dead bodies, highly worried relatives of missing persons rushed to the hospital in large number.
The police registered the case against unknown persons and started the investigation.
According to family members, Faqeer Mohammad Baloch was whisked away allegedly by security personnel near a FC check post in Mastung on September 25 while he was going to Cadet College Mastung. "My son was not alone at that time they also detained his colleague but later released him after checking his national identity card," mother of Faqeer Mohammad said.
According to spokesman of BSO-Azad, Zahoor Baloch was picked up from Mastung Bazaar during the holy month of Ramadan.
Chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), Nasurrallah Baloch said that both the victims were listed missing for months. "Security personnel are involved in killing of innocent Baloch people and the provincial government seems to be powerless and helpless before them," he said and adding "It was matter of great concern that in Balochistan the rights of human being are trampled down by state functionaries but humanitarian organizations are not taking any step in this regard." It is the biggest crime against humanity that people in custody are being shot dead, he added.
He claimed that around 32 dead bodies have so far been recovered since July 4, 2010.
Talking to Balochistan Express, Home Secretary, Akbar Durrani said that in most of the cases people did not launch their First Information Report (FIR) thus the law enforcement agencies face difficulties to chase the culprits involved in these heinous crimes.
"The family members should cooperate with the law enforcement agencies then we, the government, will be able to take appropriate steps to break up the chain of criminals," he said and adding that family members of victims accused forces but do not provide evidence.
He admitted that bullet-riddled bodies are being recovered from different districts but we can not say that all cases are linked with each others. Even the family members do not inform the concerned police station when any incident takes place.
