Quetta (Monday, July 21, 2025)<\/strong> \u2014 Chief Minister of Balochistan, Sarfraz Bugti, has clarified that the two individuals brutally murdered in a recent incident in Quetta were not a newly married couple, as widely speculated on social media. Addressing a press conference, Bugti stated that both the man and the woman were already married and each had multiple children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was no marital relationship between the two victims,\u201d said the Chief Minister, refuting rumors that the couple had recently married. \u201cThe woman had five children, and her husband\u2019s name is Noor. The murdered man also had a wife and six children. This needs to be made absolutely clear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He condemned the killings in the strongest possible terms, describing them as “barbaric and unacceptable.” “Neither the government nor society can tolerate such acts. Those responsible will be brought to justice without any leniency,” he assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Misinformation on Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sarfraz Bugti expressed concern over the spread of misinformation on social media. \u201cThis case has gone viral. People are speculating and spreading narratives that are far from the truth,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe video of the incident was not leaked from an external source \u2014 it was posted by the killers themselves, which shows the level of impunity they believed they had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bugti urged the public to exercise caution when engaging with unverified news online. \u201cWe are living in an era dominated by social media, where false information travels faster than the truth. I believe it’s essential for everyone to investigate and verify facts before sharing anything,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Law Enforcement Response and Investigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Minister confirmed that immediate action had been initiated against those involved. One of the key measures taken was the suspension of the DSP (Deputy Superintendent of Police) of the Special Branch in the area, due to his failure to inform the authorities in time. “He should have raised the alarm, and because of his negligence, the government was not alerted to the brewing situation,\u201d said Bugti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government has launched a comprehensive investigation to bring all perpetrators to justice. “Every individual involved \u2014 whether directly or indirectly \u2014 will be held accountable. No one is above the law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these assurances, Bugti expressed frustration over the local community’s reluctance to come forward. \u201cOne of the most worrying aspects of this case is that no one is willing to file an FIR (First Information Report), not even the families of the victims. Their parents and children are alive, yet no formal complaint has been registered,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that police officers are facing resistance during their investigation. \u201cWhen law enforcement goes to the area, the men have already fled, and in many cases, women come out and pelt stones at the police,\u201d he said. This, he suggested, reflects the deep-rooted tribal and social complexities that hinder justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Role of the Jirga System<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sarfraz Bugti also touched upon the influence of the jirga<\/em> system \u2014 a traditional tribal form of conflict resolution \u2014 still prevalent in Balochistan. \u201cWe can\u2019t deny that we live in a society where the jirga system still holds sway. To some extent, we are all influenced by it,\u201d he admitted. \u201cHowever, the government is committed to acting strictly within the constitutional framework and taking action against any form of parallel justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that traditional systems cannot replace lawful procedures and that tribal justice, in many cases, contributes to impunity and further conflict. \u201cThe state will not allow any unauthorized group to take the law into their own hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Security Situation in Balochistan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Responding to questions regarding the broader law and order situation in the province, Bugti shared that security forces recently eliminated 10 terrorists during a counterterrorism operation. He described these terrorists as targeting “soft spots” in Balochistan \u2014 striking quickly and then fleeing the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, our forces are fully capable and prepared. They\u2019re fighting back effectively and ensuring that such elements do not gain a foothold,\u201d he stated confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pushed back against certain portrayals in the media that suggest Balochistan is becoming more dangerous. \u201cSome groups are painting a distorted picture of the security situation. The reality is quite the opposite \u2014 things are gradually improving,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bugti emphasized that the public should not panic, and that the provincial government remains determined to defeat terrorism and restore full peace to Balochistan. \u201cWe will not rest until these terrorist elements are completely defeated, and normalcy returns to every corner of the province,\u201d he pledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The brutal double murder in Quetta has sparked public outrage, fueled in part by viral misinformation. Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti\u2019s detailed clarification sheds light on the truth behind the incident and underscores the government\u2019s commitment to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the challenges are clear: a lack of cooperation from the local community, the enduring influence of tribal customs over state law, and the continued threat of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, the provincial leadership appears resolute in addressing these issues head-on \u2014 using both force and reform to restore faith in governance and law. As the investigation continues, the public watches closely, hoping that justice will be served, and that this tragedy does not become just another forgotten headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
