A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life following a military chase and vehicle rollover in Nahbandan County.
According to Kolbarnews, quoting Balochistan sources, on June 9, 2024, a Baloch Sukhtbar died from severe injuries after his vehicle overturned during a military chase on the Nahbandan to Zahedan road.
The identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has been confirmed as “Habib Zarouzehi,” a 20-year-old resident of Khwaja Dochahi village in Nahbandan County.
Local sources reported, “On June 9, during a pursuit by military forces on the Nahbandan to Zahedan road, the driver of a fuel-carrying vehicle lost control and the resulting injuries led to his death.”
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have resorted to out of lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturning, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars in this profession. According to reports from Baloch activists in 2023, at least 172 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, and 42 others were injured in these incidents, including 11 children.
