A Baloch Sukhtbar died after his vehicle overturned on the Qaleh Ganj–Manujan road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Saturday, October 4, 2025, a Sukhtbari vehicle overturned on the Qaleh Ganj–Manujan route, near the Chah-Moozi village area. The driver of the vehicle died in the incident.
The identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has been confirmed as Shaukat Sabeqi Hoot, approximately 31 years old, son of Shakar Beig, and a resident of Pang village in Jazmourian County.
Reports indicate that Mr. Hoot died instantly due to the severity of injuries sustained in the crash.
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.
