Balochistan, Pakistan — The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has accused Pakistani security-linked groups of involvement in the deaths of two young Baloch men in separate incidents in Kech and Panjgur districts, alleging a pattern of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.
The BYC said one victim was shot dead in public and the other was killed after more than two months missing. According to reports cited by the group and published by The Balochistan Post, 27-year-old Mehran Baloch, son of Muhammad Sharif and a resident of Buleda in Kech, was attacked on May 21 while walking to his shop in Surap Bazaar. BYC said unidentified armed men opened fire on him in broad daylight, killing him instantly, and described him as a young shopkeeper from a financially struggling family.
The BYC alleged the attackers were linked to state-backed death squads operating openly across Balochistan despite heavy security checkpoints and military surveillance. The group claimed ordinary Baloch civilians continue to face violence and intimidation while criminal elements and narcotics traffickers move with impunity.
In a separate case, 21-year-old Muhsin, a driver from Suleman Bazaar in Paroom, Panjgur district, was reportedly found dead after being missing for 66 days. The BYC said Muhsin was detained at the Jeerak crossing on March 16, 2026, and disappeared without any legal process or formal charges. His body was recovered from the Kallag Koor area of Paroom during the Eid holidays. The BYC accused personnel of the Frontier Corps of forcibly disappearing Muhsin and later killing him in custody.
The organisation said both incidents illustrate a broader pattern of enforced disappearances, unlawful detentions and custodial killings in the province.
