According to local media reports, three individuals – Abdul Basit, Mohammad Haris, and Hussain – were released by the abductors and managed to return home.

Sheikh Shan Raza, speaking through a video shared on social media, revealed that although originally from Punjab, he was born and settled in Quetta.
