A Sukhtbar lost his life in a fire after two Sukhtbari vehicles collided and caught fire on the Iranshahr–Sarbaz road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, October 2, 2025, two Sukhtbari vehicles collided and burst into flames on the Iranshahr–Sarbaz route near Chameni Bridge. As a result, one Sukhtbar died in the fire.
The deceased Sukhtbar has been identified as Danial (Bilal) Shahlibar (Mahmoudzehi), 23, son of Es-haq, and a resident of Iranshahr.
Reports state that following the collision, the vehicles caught fire, and due to the severity of his injuries, Danial was unable to escape from the vehicle and died in the flames.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have been forced to turn to due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct gunfire from military and security forces are among the dangers that threaten the lives of these Sukhtbars. According to reports from Baloch activists, in the year 2024, at least 375 Baloch Sukhtbars have been injured or lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires. Of this number, 240 Sukhtbars were killed and 135 were injured, representing a 55% increase in the number of killed and injured Sukhtbars compared to the year 2023.
