In a violent confrontation in Mastung’s Daringarh area, two Levies personnel and three other individuals were killed in a shooting incident. Additionally, three law enforcement officers, including the SHO, sustained injuries.
The clash occurred after the Levies force conducted an operation and detained an individual. The detainee’s associates, protesting for his release, blocked roads and staged demonstrations. To disperse the protesters, the Levies used force and engaged in a violent exchange of fire with them.
The incident resulted in the deaths of two Levies personnel and three civilians. The injured and deceased were transported to Nawab Ghaus Bakhsh Raisani Memorial Hospital. The deceased Levies personnel have been identified as Imtiaz Ahmed, son of Allah Bakhsh, and Babu Mazar Khan, son of Muhammad Bakhsh. The injured include SHO Haji Ayaz Ahmed, son of Muhammad Usman, and officials Muhammad Naeem, son of Abdul Aleem, and Habibullah, son of Sarfraz.
This latest incident adds to a growing list of cases where the Pak Army’s heavy-handed tactics have led to unnecessary casualties and heightened tensions. The continuous use of force against civilians reveals a disturbing pattern of Pak military aggression and suppression in the region.
