A Baloch Sukhtbar tragically lost his life due to severe injuries sustained in a car accident caused by the vehicle veering off the road and overturning on the Zahedan-Zabol route.
According to Kolbarnews, on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle, driven by a 38-year-old Baloch Sukhtbar identified as Ataullah Hormozi, a married father of two, overturned for unknown reasons.
Ataullah Hormozi suffered critical injuries and succumbed to them shortly after the accident.
Sukhtbari considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan are forced to undertake due to the lack of suitable and sustainable employment opportunities. Accidents, vehicle rollovers, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars. According to reports from Baloch activists, in the first six months of 2024, at least 133 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, road accidents, and vehicle fires, while 80 others were injured in these incidents, including 9 children.
