According to the family, Giran Naz Marri and her children were detained in a private jail by Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran since 2019.
It’s worth mentioning that Khetran is a leader of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP). He has been the Provincial Minister of Balochistan since 9 September 2018. He has been a member of the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan since August 2018.
Previously, he was a member of the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan from May 2013 to May 2018.
Few days ago, a video appeared on social media in which Giran Naz Marri, the wife of Khan Mohammad Marri, was pleading to be freed from Sardar Abdul Rehman’s detention. In the video Giran Naz Marri, while holding Quran, can be seen narrating how Sardar Abdul Rehman Kehtran sexually assaulted them and her 14-year-old daughter.
It appears the video irked the alleged abductor and led to brutal murder of Giran Naz and her two sons. Giran Naz’s other children are still allegedly under Sardar Khetran’s detention.
Meanwhile, Balochistan Inspector General of Police (IGP) Abdul Khaliq Sheikh on Tuesday took notice of the grisly discovery of three bullet-riddled bodies from a well in the Barkhan district area and vowed no leniency for those involved in the incident.
According to a police statement, the bodies, which were in sacks, were found yesterday (Feb 20) at around 8pm. The station house officer (SHO) of Barkhan Police Station was informed about the corpses in the well.
A separate press release from the police said that on November 16, a police party comprising Barkhan superintendent of police (SP), sub-divisional police officer, deputy superintendent of police, SHO and an Anti-Terrorist Force team raided the Haji Kot house of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) spokesperson and Provincial Minister for Construction and Communications Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran but no one was found there.
It added that on January 18, Khan Mohammad Marri had submitted a request to the relevant authorities alleging that his wife and children were kept in captivity in Khetran’s private jail and were being tortured. He had appealed for their immediate recovery.
The press release said the Barkhan SP was given directions for the immediate recovery of Khan Muhammad’s family, adding that he had tried obtaining information about the abductees but to no avail.
The press release elaborated that the bodies of his family were found in sacks in a well in Somiani on Monday. It added that strict action will be taken against the culprits once the victims’ heirs file a case and the perpetrators would be brought to justice.
The police said they were conducting the investigation from every angle.
Meanwhile, the event created an outrage on social media and netizens asked for immediate action from the government.

Feudalism and tribalism have been persistent problems in Balochistan since antiquity. A thorough investigation is necessary to ensure justice and hold the perpetrator accountable, regardless of their identity and power. It is a heart-wrenching tragedy. pic.twitter.com/1cbOEiQ1Y8
