The overturning of a Sukhtbari vehicle in Saravan left one dead and one injured.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, August 25, 2025, the overturning of a Sukhtbari vehicle in Saravan County resulted in the death and injury of two Baloch Sukhtbars.
The deceased Sukhtbar has been identified as Mohammad Brichei, 19 years old, son of Gholam, and a resident of Zahedan.
The injured Sukhtbar has been identified as Shekrollah Safari, approximately 24 years old, married, son of Rahmatollah, and also a resident of Zahedan. Mr. Safari sustained serious injuries and was transferred to a medical facility for treatment.
The incident occurred while the two were traveling in a Toyota vehicle on the Saravan highway.
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.
