A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life due to a vehicle overturn in Rask County.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, May 30, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle veered off the road in the Hedar area of Rasak County, resulting in the vehicle overturning and the death of a Baloch Sukhtbar.
The identity of the Baloch Sukhtbar has been confirmed as Mostafa Hot, from the village of Baftan in the Jaskigor district of Rasak County.
According to local sources: “This morning, Thursday, Mostafa’s vehicle veered off the road, fell into a ravine, and overturned.
He was the sole occupant of the vehicle and died instantly from severe injuries sustained in the accident.”
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
