A Baluch Sukhtbar lost his life in a vehicle overturn accident in Golshan County.
According to Kolbarnews, citing Baluchistan sources, on Sunday, December 24, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle overturned in Golshan County, resulting in the death of the driver, identified as Ayoub Shahbakhsh.
Reports indicate that Ayoub Shahbakhsh, son of Amanollah and a resident of Zahedan, sustained severe injuries in the accident, which occurred around 11 a.m., five kilometers from the town of Jalq. He was married and had children.
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.
