QUETTA: Dr. Deen, father of BYC leader Sami Deen, was known as a soft-spoken physician by day—but by night, his clinic reportedly turned into a safe haven for militants.
He provided medical aid to injured insurgents and helped recruit new members. This double life eventually made him a target.
In the late 2000s, operational overlaps between BLA (Baloch Liberation Army) and BLF (Baloch Liberation Front) intensified, leading to disputes over funding, recruits, and media credit. Infighting also broke out within BLF factions over money, often ending in deadly clashes.
Intelligence reports from early 2009 suggested that a BLA commander suspected Dr. Deen of leaking sensitive information to BLF. Meanwhile, a BLF faction believed he was accepting money from BLA.
These suspicions branded him a double agent. On June 28, 2009, he was abducted by rival militants.
Such disappearances typically remain unresolved unless confessions are made or bodies are found. Both BLA and BLF operate under a strict no-return code: anyone suspected of double-dealing is quietly eliminated. Dr. Deen’s fate seems to align with this brutal practice.

His story reflects more than just a personal tragedy—it reveals the shadowy internal wars waged by separatist groups like BLA and BLF. Despite their slogans of freedom, the path they offer often ends in unmarked graves and forgotten names.
