Their families have received no information about their a separate incident on Monday morning, Pakistani forces reportedly raided homes in the Dasht Balnigor district of Kech, where locals described aggressive searches and harassment of women and children. Seven young men -- identified as Naveed, Salman, Haneef, Naseer, Afraz, Kamal, and Phullain -- were also detained and similarly disappeared. The TBP report pointed that "enforced disappearances have long been a contentious problem in Balochistan," with families routinely facing "daylight abductions that occur without warrants or formal charges, leaving them with no legal recourse." Human rights organisations have repeatedly condemned the Pakistani government's handling of dissent in Balochistan. Amnesty International, in a recent statement, asserted that enforced disappearances "run contrary to Pakistan's international human rights obligations" and called for prompt investigations and the immediate release of claim that laws like the Anti-Terrorism Act and special security ordinances are often misused to arrest civilians, particularly Baloch students, political activists, and journalists.

Narco-hawala cartel busted in Amritsar; 6 held with 4.5kg heroin, ₹8.7 lakh drug money
The commissionerate police, Amritsar, has dismantled a well-organised narco-hawala cartel being operated by Arshdeep Singh, currently incarcerated at Goindwal Jail, with the arrest of its six operatives and recovering 4.526 kg of heroin and ₹8.7 lakh drug money from their possession, said the director general of police (DGP), Punjab, Gaurav Yadav here on Tuesday. Those arrested have been identified as Karandeep Singh, alias Karan (25), a resident of Algon Khurd in Tarn Taran, Jaspreet Singh (20), a resident of Salodi in Ludhiana, Arshdeep Singh, alias Ars (22), a resident of Mehndipur in Tarn Taran, Gurmeet Singh alias Geetu (24), a resident of Sukhera Bodla in Fazilka, Rajinderpal Singh alias Nikka (24), a resident of Kolowal in Amritsar and Malkeet Singh (28), a resident of Hawelian in Tarn Taran. In a press note issued here, Yadav said that preliminary investigation has revealed that Arshdeep, in connivance with his associates Jaspreet and Karan, has been orchestrating the drug trade and hawala transactions. Karan, along with Gurmeet and Rajinderpal, were retrieving cross-border consignments and distributing them across various districts of Punjab, he said. He said that the probe has further revealed that the proceeds from the narcotics trade were laundered via hawala channels by Jaspreet, which were routed to Dubai, UAE and subsequently to Pakistan. The mobile phone used by Arshdeep within the jail has been recovered, providing crucial evidence of their cross-border operations, he said. The DGP said that further investigations are ongoing to establish backward and forward linkages in this case. The Commissioner of Police (CP), Amritsar, Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that Arshdeep Singh has been lodged in the jail in a commercial NDPS case. Despite incarceration, he maintained contact with cross-border smugglers, he said. He said that one of the arrested accused identified as Malkeet Singh, who has been arrested separately, is a notorious smuggler and had spent a year in Dubai, where he established links with Pakistani smugglers. Given his village's proximity to the international border, the accused has facilitated the smuggling of consignments directly to his residence upon his return to India two months ago, he added. The CP said that police teams led by DCP Ravinderpal Singh and ADCP Jagbinder Singh executed the operation based on intelligence inputs. Apart from recovering heroin and drug money, police teams have also impounded their Hero Splendor motorcycle, which they were using to deliver the consignments, he said. Further investigations are underway to unravel the network's domestic and international linkages. More arrests and recoveries are expected in coming days, he added. In this regard, two separate case FIRs have been registered under relevant sections of the NDPS Act, said officials.

Pakistani Man Who Allegedly Plotted US Attack Extradited From Canada
Ottawa: A Pakistani man was extradited from Canada to the United States on Tuesday to face charges of plotting to carry out an attack on Jews in New York City, the Justice Department said. Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, was arrested in Canada in September. According to a criminal complaint, Khan planned to travel to New York and carry out a mass shooting in support of the Islamic State (IS) at a Jewish center in Brooklyn on the October 7 anniversary of the deadly 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. "He planned to use automatic weapons to kill as many members of our Jewish community as possible, all in support of IS," US Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement. Khan allegedly revealed his plans in conversations with conspirators who were actually undercover law enforcement officers, the Justice Department said. He was taken into custody by Canadian authorities in the municipality of Ormstown some 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the US-Canada border. Khan is charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization and attempting to commit acts of terrorism.
