A 19 years old Sukhtbar lost his life after the Sukhtbari vehicle overturned and caught fire on the Rask–Chabahar route.
According to Kolbernews, citing sources in Balochistan, on Sunday, September 27, 2026, a Sukhtbar died after the Sukhtbari vehicle overturned and caught fire near the village of Dargas in Rask County.
The identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has been confirmed as “Hassan Saravani,” 19, son of Sediq and a resident of Mohammadan in Bampour County.
According to published reports, Hassan was engaged in Sukhtbari on the Rask–Chabahar route. The Sukhtbari vehicle overturned near the village of Dargas and subsequently caught fire. Hassan, who was trapped inside the vehicle, died as a result of the severity of his burn injuries.
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.
