A Baloch Sukhtbar was injured after a military vehicle collided with the Sukhtbars vehicle during a chase.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, August 22, 2024, a military pursuit of a Sukhtbari vehicle in Delgan County resulted in the military vehicle colliding with the Sukhtbar’s vehicle.
This collision caused the Sukhtbar’s vehicle to overturn and catch fire, leading to the driver being injured.
As of the time of this report, the identity of the injured Sukhtbar has not been determined.
Sukhtbari is considered an unconventional and hazardous job that many Baluch people in Baluchistan are forced into due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle rollovers, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that Sukhtbars face.
According to reports from Baluch activists, in the first six months of 2024, at least 133 Baluch Sukhtbars have died from shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, with another 80 injured in these incidents, including nine children.
