The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has said that it is “horrified” by the discovery of three bullet-riddled bodies from a well in Barkhan, Balochistan, and “serious” allegations that Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) Provincial Minister Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran murdered the victims after keeping them detained in his private jail.
A body of a woman and her two sons were recovered from a well in Barkhan on Tuesday. They were later identified to be the wife Granaz (40) and two sons Muhammad Anwar (22) and Abdul Qadir (15) of one Khan Muhammad Marri, who was once employed as a security guard with the provincial minister.
Earlier, Khan Muhammad Marri had accused the minister of detaining his family, including his wife and seven children in his private jail. Moreover, all Pakistan Marri Ittehad had protested in Quetta against the provincial minister for detaining the Marri’s family members in his alleged private prison.
In a statement, the HRCP said the allegations leveled against the provincial minister are “serious” and urged the authorities to investigate them promptly.
Granaz’s video also surfaced online wherein she could be seen swearing on Holy Quran that she and her family are in Khetran’s captivity. In the video, she could also be seen asking for help.
Sardar Khetran has denied the allegations.
