At least 14 Levies Force personnel in Kohlu and 29 Government employees in Turbat town of Kech District were suspended on the allegations of engaging in political activities, specifically their support for protests against “Baloch Genocide”, The Balochistan Post reported on January 2. The Deputy Commissioner of Kohlu has established an investigative committee, led by the Assistant Commissioner, to investigate the alleged political involvement of the Levies Force officials and to determine any breaches of departmental rules. Similarly, in Turbat, 29 government employees have faced suspension under accusations similar to those in Kohlu. Reportedly, these suspensions are a response to their perceived support for protests against the extrajudicial killing of Balach Mola Bakhsh, an incident that has sparked significant public outcry in Balochistan.
