The Balochistan Police on Monday registered a case against Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal.
Abdul Qadir Sheikh, a police officer in Khuzdar said the FIR was registered on the application of Khuzdar Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Ayaz Mandokhail.
Mandokhail has alleged in the application that Mengal had threatened him on telephone.
“Sardar Mengal has issued serious life threats against me,” the police official cited the wordings of the deputy commissioner’s application.
However, sources close to Mengal strongly contradicted the claims and termed it an attempt to pressurise Mengal’s voice for Baloch rights and resources.
“Sardar Mengal cannot be pressurised through such tactics”, the sources said.
