ISLAMABAD: There are certain concerns that have emerged regarding the credibility of few participants in the ongoing sit-in organized by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) in the federal capital, after a series of suspicious incidents came to light.
In this regard, there is a video circulating on social media that has fueled debate, showing a woman from Awaran admitting that she had been brought to Islamabad under the promise of employment.
She claimed she was offered up to Rs. 50,000 and was handed the photograph of an unknown individual to present as a missing relative.
In this regard, the confession has raised pressing questions about whether all those attending the protest truly represent the families of missing persons, or if some individuals were brought in on misleading pretexts.

Meanwhile, the controversy, reports suggest that several individuals once listed as “missing” later appeared in militant camps of the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF).
In this sense, Wadood Satakzai, who was reported as a missing person, was later identified as the suicide bomber behind the attack on Gwadar Port.
Similarly, another individual, Tayyab Baloch, who had been portrayed as a victim of enforced disappearance, turned out to be the main perpetrator of a suicide attack on the Frontier Corps (FC) camp in Bela in August 2024.
