Four more Bugti commanders surrender: govt
Four top commanders of Brahamdagh Bugti, the second-in-command of armed Bugti tribesmen, surrendered to the government on Wednesday along with 40 armed men, government sources claimed. "Those who surrendered include the top commanders Jumma Khan, Wadera Ali Gul, Rahim Khan and Ali Murad, and some 40 other tribesmen," the government official said, adding that their weapons had been seized.
However, sources in Nawab Akbar Bugti's Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) rejected the official claims, saying the men were not Bugti loyalists. "They were some miscreants involved in some other crimes. Now the government wants to brand them as Bugti tribesmen in order to defame us," said the JWP source.
