As reported in a post by Paank on X, on Tuesday morning, family members of the victims discovered the burial locations of their sons in Aslam Shah Cemetery and started the exhumation process. The three young men were killed the previous month during a confrontation with Pakistani forces.

Their families were not notified of their deaths, and the bodies were interred without consent, identification, or announcement, in blatant violation of fundamental human rights and international humanitarian standards.

At least one body was exhumed by the families and subsequently reburied following Baloch cultural practices and the dignity every person deserves in death.
