QUETTA: The Baloch Yakjehti Committee’s (BYC) recent claims regarding an alleged hunger strike by its leadership. The BYC, an organization led by Dr. Mahrang Baloch, is known for its controversial activities and alleged ties with anti-state elements. The BYC stated that Dr. Mahrang Baloch and her associates had been on a hunger strike inside jail for five consecutive days to protest their detention.
Furthermore, skepticism grew after Dr. Mahrang and her group appeared before the court earlier today with visibly fresh and energetic appearances. In this sense, there were certain observers questioned the possibility of anyone surviving for five days without food and water while maintaining a healthy and refreshed demeanor.

In such a scenario, “BYC had been claiming that Mahrang and her group had refused food and water for five days. how can anyone survive for so long without nourishment?”
بی وائی سی کہہ رہا تھا کہ مہرنگ اور اس کا ٹولہ پانچ دن سے جیل میں بھوک ہڑتال کر رہا تھا۔
سوچ رہی ہوں کہ پانچ دن سے کوئی بھوکا اور پیاسا کیسے زندہ رہ سکتا ہے؟
آج مہرنگ کے ٹولے نے تازہ دم چہروں کے ساتھ عدالت میں پیشی بھی کی۔
ادھر کوئی بتا سکتا ہے کہ کیا پانچ دن تک بھوکے پیاسے رہ کر… pic.twitter.com/RI1RPeRWT5— Dukhtar-E-Balochistan🇵🇰 (@Dukhtar_B) April 28, 2025
This disparity has raised concerns about the authenticity of BYC’s hunger strike narrative. In such a case, medical experts also pointed out that human survival without water beyond three days is extremely rare, and extended periods without food usually result in visible signs of weakness, dehydration, and physical decline.
Moreover, as the case progresses, authorities are expected to look deeper into BYC’s activities and their communications strategy.
Meanwhile, the court has adjourned the hearing to a later date, with further proceedings likely to scrutinize not only the charges against the individuals but also the political motivations behind their public statements.
