Armed men kidnapped the Tump Hanif Noorzai commissioner on Wednesday morning, near Tigranabad, while traveling with his family to Quetta, according to local sources.
Ocular witnesses report that between six and eight armed people stopped their official vehicle, took him to the gun and fled with the car. His wife, driver and official armed man stayed in the place and remained unharmed.
The incident has caused a rapid response from the security forces, which have launched a large -scale search operation in the area. Instant verification has begun along Zubaida Jalal Road and nearby routes, while intelligence -based efforts are being used to track kidnappers.
The kidnapping of a senior government official has raised concerns about the safety of public officials in Baluchistan, particularly in the Makran region. The authorities have not yet identified those responsible, and no group has assumed responsibility from now on.
The efforts to locate and recover the Noorzai security assistant are ongoing.
Earlier this week, seven terrorists allegedly affiliated with the group backed by India Fitna al-Hindustan were killed in two separate operations in Baluchistan on June 2, 2025.
Previously, the federal government had officially appointed all terrorist groups operating in Baluchistan as ‘Fitna to Hindustan‘accusing India of sponsoring a war of power through these outfits.
According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Interior, the measure is derived from “the participation of some organizations and groups in terrorist activities in Baluchistan, which are harmful to Islamic faith, the sovereignty of Pakistan and its usual traditions.”
The notification also declared that the new designation is intended to reflect “the true nature and ideology” of these groups and their “disastrous designs” sponsored by India.
“All government entities are aimed at starting the previous practice immediately,” said the notification, underlining a concerted effort to rethink the narrative around insurgent violence in the province.
The announcement occurred after Islamabad accused India of growing indirect aggression after what he described as his defeat in a recent security operation called “Marka-E-HAQ“.
