Advocate General of Balochistan, Mr Amanullah Kanrani appeared before the bench and submitted a report on behalf of the Balochistan government.

Kanrani said a high power committee has been constituted under the Home Department, which will investigate the security lapses that resulted in the death of 26 people.

He also added that the number of police and security officials have been increased in the province to improve the security situation.

Kanrani also told the court that no pilgrim can go to Iran without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NoC) from the Home Department of the province.  After being issued an NoC, adequate security arrangement will be made for the pilgrims, he said.

The investigation of this matter has been taken from the levies force and given to the Crime Investigation Department (CID).

The court said the government should take this matter seriously and that an experienced officer should be appointed for the investigation of this case.

Used Pashtuns, killed Pashtuns, killed Baluchs with the same LEJ gang. Balochis are not our killers directly! We will unite in Afghanistan. And kill the Durand line for which Punjab has been struggling. Exporting Terror to Afghanistan. We remember when we saw Pakistani currency, Pakistani Telephon system.
