ISLAMABAD: The Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) have alleged that the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) is functioning as a “soft face” and proxy network for banned militant organisations operating in Balochistan.
In this regard, the assessment is based on documented evidence rather than speculation and has remained part of official records since 2025.
In such a case, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) warned that organised propaganda campaigns in Balochistan were being carried out through proxy groups to support terrorism and destabilisation.
During that period, BYC, led by activist Mahrang Baloch, reportedly attempted to take custody of bodies of deceased militants from hospitals. So far, the security officials allege that militants killed in operations are frequently presented as “missing persons” immediately after incidents, before their identities or affiliations are formally established.
This, they say, creates a perception of victimhood and obscures factual details.
The DG ISPR publicly stated that BYC and its leadership were allegedly operating as proxies and facilitators for terrorist networks, adding that the narrative of enforced disappearances was being used systematically as a tool.
Meanwhile, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), along with police and other agencies, arrested Sajid Ahmed, a resident of Turbat.
However, Ahmed holds a Master’s degree in Sociology from the International Islamic University Islamabad and previously served as a lecturer at government colleges and the University of Turbat.
The CTD has also confirmed the arrest of three additional facilitators, all of whom reportedly had prior involvement with BYC activities.
