KARACHI: Six of the eight Baloch students who went “missing” on October 16 from their shared residence in Gulistan-i-Jauhar have returned home, their families reported on Friday.
The students—Ishfaq, Shahzad, Bebarg Ameer, Zubair, Qambar Ali, and Saeedullah—were reportedly “released by the police” in Uthal, Balochistan. However, Hanif and Shoaib remain missing.
Wazir Ahmed, the brother of one of the missing students, informed that the six students were released early Friday morning around 1 AM at the Uthal police station.
Their families had previously alleged that the eight students were taken by law enforcement agencies during a raid on their home. Subsequently, they filed a petition with the Sindh High Court, which issued notices to the home secretary, inspector general of police, and other officials, directing the police to present the “detainees” in court by November 4.
