QUETTA: Tribal chief Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, who was killed in a military operation on August 26, was laid quietly to rest amidst tight security at 10am in Dera Bugti on Friday. | “A plywood box sealed by two Chinese-made locks contained Bugti's body. None of the late Nawab's family was at the burial...” |
"The funeral prayers were attended by around 20 people, and nobody was shown Bugti's face except for prayer leader Maulana Maluk Bugti and the DCO," a witness told Daily Times. "The body, which government officials claimed had been damaged, was kept in a locked coffin," he added. Bugti was laid to rest beside his younger brother Ahmed Nawaz Bugti, a former member of the National Assembly who died last year.
