Brahamdagh Khan Bugti or Brahumdagh Khan Bugti (Urdu: براہمدغ خان بگٹی) is the founder and leader of the political organization Baloch Republican Party,[1] a Baloch nationalist group which broke away from his uncle Talal Akbar Bugti's Jamhoori Watan Party in 2008. Brahmadagh Bugti is wanted in Pakistan for allegedly being involved in a number of terrorist attacks and has been charged with terrorist links by Swiss authorities. [2][3]
Early life
Brahamdagh Bugti was born in 1982 to Rehan Khan Bugti, the fourth son of Akbar Bugti. Rehan died a short time after Brahamdagh's birth.
Self Exile
He went into self exile in Afghanistan during an military operation Dera Bugti 2006. In 2007, Pakistani leader Pervez Musharraf claimed that Bugti had been planning terrorist attacks from Afghanistan with covert Indian and Afghan support.[4] Afghan president Hamid Karzai publicly rejected this claim, but later secretly admitted to US officials that Bugti was provided safe-haven in Kabul.[5] In 2010, Bugti fled Afghanistan for Switzerland. In 2017, Bugti's asylum claim was rejected by the Swiss government on the basis of Bugti's links with “incidents of terrorism, violence and militant activities".[6]
