As reported in a post by Paank on X, a minimum of seven individuals were forcibly taken from their residences during early morning raids conducted without legal authority or due process. Khalil Ahmed, the son of Haji Muhammad Ibrahim Shahwani, a tuberculosis patient and resident of Killi Kongadh in Mastung, was abducted from his home around 3 AM. Muhammad Wafa, the son of Haji Muhammad Ashraf Shahwani, was taken late at night from Khadkocha Tehsil in Mastung.
