Baloch man's disfigured body found in Awaran after abduction, sparks outrage
Darman Baloch, son of Rahim Bakhsh, was forcibly disappeared by Frontier Corps (FC) personnel in Awaran district on May 27, 2025. He was summoned to an FC camp, detained briefly, and then abducted. On the night of May 30, his mutilated body was discovered in the Kohro area of Awaran district. Darman Baloch was the primary breadwinner for his family. He was killed by personnel of the Frontier Corps in Jaho, Awaran. This case adds to the growing pattern of "kill and dump" operations in Balochistan, where individuals are forcibly disappeared and later found dumped under violent circumstances. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) condemned the killing, stating, "Darman Baloch, son of Rahim Bakhsh, was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces. His mutilated body was found in the Kohro area of Awaran district. This is part of the ongoing 'kill and dump' operations targeting Baloch civilians."

The BYC has been actively organising protests to raise awareness about the increasing extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances in Balochistan. They have called for international intervention and held the perpetrators accountable. Human rights organisations have repeatedly raised concerns over what they describe as an escalating pattern of "state-led violence" in Balochistan, where enforced disappearances have become a daily occurrence. Baloch advocacy groups, including the BYC, Paank, and the Baloch Women Forum (BWF), have urged the United Nations, international human rights organisations, and global civil society to take urgent notice of the situation.

The killing of Darman Baloch highlights the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan and the urgent need for international attention and action. Earlier in the day, Paank, the human rights wing of the Baloch National Movement (BNM), strongly condemned the latest wave of extrajudicial killings in Balochistan, holding the Pakistani military establishment responsible for what it termed 'a campaign of state-sponsored terror.'

Mustafa Amir case: New revelation exposes Armaghan's employees' role
Listen to article In the ongoing investigation into the murder of Mustafa Amir, a Karachi-based youth who was abducted and killed by acquaintances, new details have emerged about the personal employees of the prime suspect, Armaghan, who are currently on the run. Investigative authorities have identified two of Armaghan's fleeing employees, Rahim Bakhsh and Abdul Rahim, both of whom are from Bahawalpur. According to sources, six SIM cards are registered under the names of Rahim Bakhsh and Abdul Rahim, with one of the numbers registered under Rahim Bakhsh being in Armaghan's possession. Further investigations have revealed that an account on WhatsApp linked to the number registered under Rahim Bakhsh was created under the name "Supreme Financial Associates." The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has confirmed that Armaghan had opened bank accounts in the names of these two employees, and both Rahim Bakhsh and Abdul Rahim are wanted by the authorities in connection with the case. They are also implicated in a money laundering case filed against Armaghan. Earlier, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had filed a money laundering case against Armaghan Qureshi, the key suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case. The investigation revealed that since 2018, Armaghan had been running illegal call centres, generating an illegal monthly income ranging from $300,000 to $500,000, which he transferred via cryptocurrency, Express News reported. The FIA further disclosed that Armaghan was also involved in selling the cryptocurrency through various companies. As part of the ongoing money laundering case, eight luxury vehicles purchased with proceeds from cryptocurrency sales were frozen by the authorities. The FIA's action expanded the investigation into Armaghan's financial activities, linking him to illicit financial dealings beyond his alleged involvement in Mustafa Amir's murder.
