A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life following a high-speed chase by security forces, which resulted in the overturning of his vehicle in Nehbandan.
According to reports from Kolbarnews, on Friday, October 4, 2024, a vehicle transporting fuel was pursued by security forces near Voshusf, in the Nehbandan area.
During the chase, the vehicle overturned, and the Sukhtbar sustained serious injuries, eventually succumbing to them.
The identity of the Baloch Sukhtbar has been confirmed as Changiz Bani-Adam (Kouhkan), a 38-year-old man from the village of Sandika in Galikesh County, Golestan Province. He was married and the father of four children.
Sukhtbari is considered an unconventional and hazardous job that many Baluch people in Baluchistan are forced into due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle rollovers, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that Sukhtbars face. According to reports from Baluch activists, in the first six months of 2024, at least 133 Baluch Sukhtbars have died from shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, with another 80 injured in these incidents, including nine children.
