A violent protest erupted in Quetta as members of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), led by Mahrang Baloch, attempted to exploit the bodies of slain terrorists killed in the Jaffar Express attack for political gain.
When the bodies of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) militants responsible for the Jaffar Express assault – were brought to Civil Hospital Quetta, Mahrang Baloch and her group stormed the premises instead of condemning the terror attack.
The protesters forcibly seized the bodies from hospital authorities and launched demonstrations across the city.
As the Quetta administration and police moved to disperse the unlawful protest using water cannons, BYC-affiliated activists opened fire, injuring both police personnel and their own demonstrators.
According to reports, at least two of their own members were killed due to friendly fire from their armed accomplices.
