A police officer from Balochistan, DSP Muhammad Yousuf Reki, was discovered deceased in Mastung after being missing for several days. Authorities confirmed that he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

 

 

As reported by Kardgap Police Station's SHO Ghulam Sarwar, Reki’s remains were found in Gargeena Killi Sharbat Khan, Kardgap, showing shot wounds to his head and chest. Forensic investigators collected evidence from the scene, including shell casings and blood samples.

 

 

Officials stated that the officer was kidnapped five days prior, on Saturday night, while he was en route from Noshki to his residence. He opted for a quicker, less densely populated mountain path through Mastung and Surab rather than taking the National Highway. His vehicle was intercepted near Kardgap by unidentified armed men, who abducted him along with his car, which has yet to be located.

 

 

Just before being taken, Reki spoke to his wife, informing her that armed individuals had halted his vehicle, after which he lost contact. Preliminary investigations indicate he was travelling solo and without any protective detail. Authorities stated that the reasons behind his kidnapping and subsequent murder remain unknown.

 

 

Funeral services for the deceased officer took place at Fayyaz Sumbal Police Lines in Quetta. It was attended by Balochistan Governor Jaffar Khan Mandokhail, Provincial Minister Mir Asim Kurd Gello, 12 Corps Commander Lt Gen Rahat Naseem Ahmed Khan, Inspector General of Police Muhammad Tahir Khan, and other high-ranking civil and military officials. Following the ceremony, his body was sent back to his hometown for burial.

 

 

High-ranking members of the Balochistan Police expressed sorrow over the officer's death, deeming it a significant loss for the police force. An investigation into the matter has been initiated by authorities.
