Armed men abduct 10 labourers from Dera Bugti-Sui road site

Quetta: (Thursday, April 12, 2012) Tensions in Balochistan are increasing as today; at least 10 labourers were abducted by an armed group near Sui area, Dera Bugti.

The District Police Officer Dera Bugti confirmed the kidnapping, adding that police and security forces have mounted a manhunt in the area for the safe recovery of the labourers.

The labourers were sitting in tents pitched beside the road under construction near Sui when a group of armed men abducted ten of them at gun point.

“A few labourers were left behind as they were sitting inside another tent,” official sources said.

There were eight Sindhi-speaking labourers belonging to Sadiqabad, one from Quetta and one local Bugti tribesman.

The security forces and police initiated a search operation in the area on Thursday morning but were clueless about the whereabouts of the kidnapped people.

Local sources, however, put the figure to 13. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
