Akbar Bugti has left Dera Bugti with 200 Marri militants, Dera Bugti District Coordination Officer (DCO) Abdussamad Lasi told Geo television late on Friday night. Lasi said that around 200 Marri militants had arrived in Dera Bugti to rescue Bugti after the Thursday’s encounter in which security forces killed 25 militants. He said that Bugti was now with these militants of the Mari tribe, because his private militia had totally dispersed. Only a few people of his tribe are now supporting Bugti, Lasi added. Lasi said that Bugti had made his chief commander Khan Muhammad Masori hostage. “Bugti fears that his chief commander will also leave him in the lurch like another commander Bangan Khan who surrendered to the government a few days ago,” Lasi said. He said that security forces were not conducting any operation in the area, but searching the camps vacated by tribal militants. He said that Bugti was hiding somewhere in Kahan mountains along with his rescuers.
