The Morsad forces stationed at the Rian-Mahan checkpoint tore open the diesel tank of a Sukhtbari vehicle after a chase and beating the Sukhtbars.
According to Kolbarnews, on Sunday, May 12, 2024, the Morsad forces at the Rian-Mahan checkpoint pursued a Sukhtbari vehicle and, after beating the Sukhtbar, tore open the fuel tank.
The report states that after the pursuit, the Mersad forces shot at the vehicle’s tires, broke the vehicle’s suspensions, and after beating the Sukhtbars, placed the driver’s head under the diesel tank and punctured it before leaving the scene.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have resorted to out of lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturning, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars in this profession. According to reports from Baloch activists in 2023, at least 172 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, and 42 others were injured in these incidents, including 11 children
