A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life in flames following a collision between a Sukhtbari Samand sedan and an Isuzu truck on the Zahouki–Minab road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, a Samand Sukhtbari vehicle collided with an Isuzu truck on the Zahouki–Minab route, resulting in a deadly fire that claimed the life of the Baloch Sukhtbar.
The deceased Sukhtbar has been identified as Abbas Ghasemi, son of Ali, a resident of Tirour, Minab.
According to the report, the accident occurred at around 7:00 a.m., when the Sukhtbari Samand collided with the Isuzu truck. Both vehicles caught fire, and the Sukhtbar was burned to death inside 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.
