Azizolrahman Dakali, 38, and his 14-year-old son, Emadoddin Dakali, two Baloch Sukhtbars from Iranshahr, lost their lives after a Nissan pickup truck overturned and caught fire on the Soulan, Chah Dadkhoda road in Qaleh Ganj County.
According to Kolbarnews, citing Balochistan sources, on 30 June 2026, a Baloch father and son working as Sukhtbars were killed in a traffic accident that resulted in their vehicle catching fire in Qaleh Ganj County.
According to the report, the victims were identified as Azizolrahman Dakali, approximately 38 years old, son of Pirouz, and his 14-year-old son, Emadoddin Dakali, both from the village of Piranch, in the Daman District of Iranshahr County.
According to information published by local sources, the two Sukhtbars were travelling along the route in two Nissan pickup trucks when the rear tyre of one of the vehicles burst, causing the driver to lose control. This resulted in the vehicle overturning and a chain collision.
Following the crash, both vehicles caught fire. According to local sources, one of the bodies was completely burned in the flames, while the other, which had sustained severe burns, was pulled from the fire by people at the scene.
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.
