Protest Held in Yaro Over Triple Murder Case, Speakers Question Government’s Performance

Pishin: A large protest demonstration was organized in Yaro against the failure to arrest the alleged suspects involved in a gruesome triple murder case and the worsening law and order situation in Pishin district.
The protest was arranged by the Yaro Public Committee, which included representatives from various political parties, social organizations, the legal community, and tribal elders.
A large number of people from different walks of life participated in the demonstration, expressing solidarity with the victims’ families and demanding the immediate arrest of the accused.
Among those who addressed the gathering were Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party Pishin district president Umar Khan Tareen, Yaro Public Committee chairman Abdul Sattar Kakar, former District Bar Association Pishin president Abdul Manaf Badinzai Advocate, Dr. Azam Khan, Kaka Shafi Tareen, Muhammad Raza Shaida, Muhammad Saleem Yousafzai, and Shamsuddin Jamal.
The speakers strongly condemned what they described as a brutal and inhumane triple murder incident in Yaro, stating that more than one and a half months had passed since the tragedy, yet the suspects remained at large despite assurances from the provincial government and directives issued by Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti.
They said the failure to arrest the accused had raised serious questions about the performance of law enforcement agencies and the district administration.
According to the speakers, the victims included schoolteacher Naseem Khan Yousafzai, his young daughter, and his nephew Shahryar Khan Yousafzai, whose killings plunged the entire area into mourning.
They stated that Pashtun society has always upheld strong tribal and humanitarian traditions and such brutal crimes could not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The speakers recalled that on March 27, officials including the Quetta commissioner and DIG police had promised protesters that the suspects would be arrested within 48 hours. However, they said no meaningful progress had been made even after several weeks.
The protesters demanded the immediate arrest and strict punishment of all those involved in the killings, restoration of law and order in the area, and complete justice for the affected family.
They warned that if further delays continued, the protest movement would be expanded and a future course of action would soon be announced.
Participants carried placards and banners demanding justice for the victims, the arrest of the killers, and restoration of peace in the region.
