The name of Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran is making round and round on internet after bullet riddled bodies of a woman and her two sons were found dumped in a well in Balochistan’s Barkhan area.
Muhammad Khan Marri, a resident of Barkhan, alleged that his wife and sons were held as hostages by Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran, provincial minister in Balochistan, for failing to testify in his favor in a court matter.
Almost a month ago, a video went viral on social media in which a lady, holding Quran, alleging that she was held as captive at the house of Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran and that her daughter was sexually assaulted by the Sardar.
As per the Balochistan Assembly’s website, Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran was elected from PB-8 Barkhan, and is currently serving as Minister ( Communication and Building Department).
As soon as the news of the dumped bodies went viral, social media users the other day started posting pictures of more children, who were allegedly being held as captives or slaves by Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran.
Later, it dawned upon social media users that it was none other than the son of Abdul Rehman Khetran himself who leaked those pictures on social media.
Meanwhile, talking to media, Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran denied keeping a private jail or holding these figures as hostages, and termed the incident as “propaganda created to tarnish his political repute”. He claimed that his son was behind the “conspiracy” against him and was also responsible for the video of the deceased woman.
The minister said that he would pursue legal action against his opponents on the issue.
