Quetta. The tragic disappearance of Musawir Khan, a young boy abducted from Quetta in late 2024, has ended in heartbreak, as authorities have confirmed the recovery of his body in a remote area of Mastung. Senior police officials have announced that DNA testing has verified the identity of the child.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Aitzaz Ahmed Goraya, who is leading the investigation, revealed that the abductors used non-custom paid (NCP) vehicles in the kidnapping. He further stated that the case involved cross-border elements, prompting cooperation through diplomatic channels with neighboring countries, including Iran and Afghanistan.
Five suspects have been identified, four of whom are reportedly Afghan nationals. The fifth is believed to be a local refugee. Law enforcement agencies are actively tracking the individuals, with officials expecting a significant breakthrough in the coming days. Authorities suspect the crime was a meticulously planned and coordinated operation, rather than an isolated act.
“This was a high-profile case that extended beyond provincial and national borders,” DIG Goraya said. “We also engaged international digital platforms for technical support.”
