Bugti Says Chagai Raid Killed Two, Netted Key Suspect as Balochistan Intensifies Crackdown

He casts the fight as an intelligence-led war driven by external support.

Overview

  • Officials say two suspects were killed in the Chagai operation and one, identified as Jehanzaib, surrendered after being described as a recruiter and weapons supplier active in Dalbandin.
  • Bugti says one of the slain was a lawyer allegedly tied to the May killing of Pakistan Air Force personnel, and claims the cell monitored Chinese nationals and planned to target the Frontier Corps headquarters.
  • Reporting on security-force casualties diverges, with provincial statements citing one injured soldier and at least one outlet claiming an FC fatality, which has not been independently confirmed.
  • Bugti alleges Afghan territory provides safe havens and training for militants and accuses India’s RAW of funding efforts to unite anti-Pakistan groups, framing these as official claims not independently verified in the reports.
  • He defends the 4G shutdown as a tool to disrupt militant communications and says new detention rules, including weekly medical checks, are meant to address missing-persons allegations.
