According to Kolbarnews, citing Balochistan sources, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, two Nissan pickup trucks used for Sukhtbari collided in the Chahshahi area of Manujan County and subsequently caught fire.
During the incident, Davoud Sistani died in the flames due to the severity of his injuries and his inability to escape from the vehicle.
According to information received, the other Sukhtbar involved in the accident managed to survive.
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 the 2025 annual report of the Baluchistan Human Rights Documentation Network, at least 262 Sukhtbars were killed or injured. Of these, 173 Sukhtbars lost their lives due to gunfire by military forces, road accidents during pursuits by security forces, or explosions caused by mines planted by the IRGC, while 89 others were injured. Four child Sukhtbars were among those killed.
