Lady Constable Shakeela Baloch martyred in Turbat terrorist attack

QUETTA, May 16 (APP): Balochistan mourns the loss of another daughter of the province, Lady Police Constable Shakeela Baloch, who was martyred in Turbat after being targeted by terrorists linked to Indian-backed proxy networks. The attack occurred while she was on her way to duty, leaving her husband and child injured.

Officials described the incident as not only an assault on a responsible policewoman but also on the courageous women of Balochistan who stand on the front lines to protect the public. By targeting women, teachers, and children, authorities said, these groups aim to spread fear and undermine the province’s social fabric.

Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti strongly condemned the attack, calling it an assault on Balochistan’s peace. He declared that the cowardly actions of terrorists are intolerable and vowed that anti-state elements will be brought to justice at all costs. “The attack on Lady Constable Shakeela’s family exposes the brutal mindset of terrorists. Those who attack innocent civilians deserve no leniency,” Bugti said.

He further emphasized that targeting teachers and women is not only an act of violence but also an attack on Balochistan’s academic and cultural identity. “Enemies of knowledge and awareness will be crushed under the law,” he said, adding that the government will ensure such elements face the consequences of their actions.
