Saber Soleimani, who had been injured after a deliberate collision between a military vehicle from the Sorkh Qaleh outpost and a fuel-carrying Nissan pickup truck on the Kohnooj to Qaleh Ganj road, has died from his injuries after four days.
According to Kolbarnews, on Saturday, July 19, 2025, a Sukhtbar who was injured due to a deliberate crash by military forces from Sorkh Qaleh outpost into his Sukhtbari vehicle on the Kohnooj-Qaleh_Ganj highway, passed away after four days due to the severity of his injuries.
The identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has been confirmed as Saber Soleimani, son of Reza, from Qaleh Ganj.
According to the report, the incident occurred on July 15, when a Toyota Hilux belonging to the Sorkh Qaleh military outpost rammed the Nissan pickup from behind, causing both vehicles to catch fire. Mr. Soleimani, who sustained burns and injuries from the crash, succumbed to his wounds after four days.
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.
