Act of inhumanity: BYC says Balochistan's Azmat Rind tortured to death in custody, secretly buried without family consent

Human rights group Baloch Yakjehti Committee has said a man from Naseerabad district in Pakistan was allegedly tortured to death in the custody of the forces and secretly buried without family consent.

The deceased person was identified as Azmat Rind.

BYC wrote on X: "Azmat Rind, son of Ameer Bakhsh Rind and a resident of Dera Murad Jamali, was forcibly disappeared on June 5, 2025, in broad daylight near Sabzi Mandi, Naseerabad."

BYC said on July 9 that his family was informed by Pakistani military forces that he had succumbed to injuries sustained in custody.

BYC said: "Azmat was reportedly subjected to severe torture and extrajudicially killed while in illegal detention."

" In a further act of inhumanity, his body was clandestinely buried by the forces in a deserted area of Chatar, Naseerabad—denying his family the right to a proper religious and cultural burial," the group said.

The human rights group said Rind's death is emblematic of an increasingly disturbing pattern in Balochistan, where victims of enforced disappearance are later found dead in custody, often showing signs of extreme torture.

Balochistan has been witnessing a spike in violence, involving separatist movements, heavy military presence, enforced disappearances, and economic marginalisation.

The condition of Balochistan has drawn attention from various human rights organisations, journalists, and international observers.
