GWADAR: At least one soldier was martyred and sixteen others injured after a violent mob in the garb of so-called Baloch Raji Muchi assaulted Security Forces’ personnel employed for security duties in Gwadar district of Balochistan, the military’s media wing said on Monday.

In a statement, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that as a result of mob violence, Sepoy Shabbir Baloch (Age: 30 years; resident of: District Sibi), embraced shahadat.
In addition, the unprovoked assaults by the violent protesters have resulted in injuries to sixteen soldiers including an officer, the statement added.
On the other hand, ISPR said, fake and malicious propaganda is being spread on social media using doctored pictures and videos by the propagandists to gain sympathy and support for the unlawful violent march.

“Security forces have displayed extreme restraint to avoid unwarranted civilian casualties despite provocations,” it said, adding that the violent actions of the mob are unacceptable and those responsible will be brought to justice.

The military’s media wing also urged all citizens not to fall prey to the propaganda, remain calm and peaceful, and cooperate with law enforcement agencies to maintain public safety and order.
