Two teenage Sukhtbars lost their lives after a passenger bus collided with a Toyota Sukhtbari vehicle on the Zahedan–Khash road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, October 20, 2025, a passenger bus crashed into a Toyota Sukhtbari, resulting in the deaths of Arman Sanjarani (16) and Adel Sheybani (18), son of Saeed, both residents of Zahedan.
Following the collision, the vehicles caught fire, and both Baloch teenage Sukhtbars were burned to death in the blaze.
Fortunately, all bus passengers managed to evacuate before the fire spread throughout the bus, and no injuries were reported among them.
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.
