Family sources of a missing Baloch trader have alleged that he has been arrested and taken away by plain clothed personnel of Pakistani secret services.
According to the details received by The Baochistan Post, Qazi Jan Mohammad Kalmati went missing after plain clothed persons posing as business colleagues of the missing men took him away in cars used by security forces personnel.
On 31 May 2018, men in four cars asked for Mr. Kalmati at his residence, as they claimed, they wanted to settle a business issue. Mr. Kalmati was at his second house at the time, where the men were subsequently taken by a local kid. A police car was also accompanying the alleged kidnappers.
Mr. Kalmati met the men and was forced into one of the vehicles, as claimed by family.
He not been seen since then.
The family members have alleged that the cars and guns the men were carrying resembled those of Pakistani security forces.
The family sources have confirmed that Mr. Kalmati is not a member of any political organisations and he has not been involved in any political activities.
It is pertinent to mention that Mr. Kalmati is younger brother of Qazi Dad Rehan, the former Information Secretary of Baloch National Movement. Many believe Mr. Kalmati has been abducted to pressurize his brother.
In Balochistan, the campaign groups claim, tens of thousands of persons have gone missing since the armed struggle for a ‘Free Balochistan’ started in early 2000s. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have accused Pakistani security forces of being behind these ‘abductions’.
