Concerns are growing in Balochistan after reports emerged about the alleged abduction of two senior officials from Gwadar University. The incident reportedly occurred while the officials were travelling from Gwadar to Quetta.
According to initial reports, Vice Chancellor Dr. Abdul Razaq Sabir and Pro Vice Chancellor Dr. Syed Manzoor Ahmed were travelling in an official vehicle when contact with them was suddenly lost. Authorities believe the incident may have taken place near the Mastung area.
The disappearance of the senior Gwadar University officials has created concern among academic circles and local authorities. Security agencies have now launched an active investigation to trace their whereabouts and ensure their safe recovery.
Deputy Commissioner Mastung, Bahram Saleem, confirmed the development and said officials are in regular contact with the families of the missing university leaders. He added that the administration is closely monitoring the situation.
Sources said communication with the two officials stopped shortly after they entered the Mastung region. Since then, no confirmed updates regarding their location have been released publicly.
Police and law enforcement agencies are continuing search operations in the area. Security officials are also gathering information from nearby checkpoints and travel routes to determine what happened.
