Sardar Abdul Rehman Baloch alias Rehman Dakait (Urdu: رحمان ڈکیت) was a Pakistani gangster based in Karachi's Lyari neighbourhood who formed the Peoples' Aman Committee. In urban Karachi, he is a mythical figure from the feared but not talked about underworld. Dakait was a cousin of Sardar Uzair Jan Baloch, who is in the custody of law enforcement.
Early life
[edit]Baloch was born in 1980 to Dad Muhammad and Khadija Bibi. His father, Dad Muhammad, and paternal uncle, Sheru, had been involved in drug smuggling since 1964.[1] They were challenged by Kala Nag, who was later killed in a police encounter.[2]
Baloch started peddling drugs from a young age. He is claimed to have stabbed a man when he was just 13. In 1995, some also claim he murdered his mother. It is speculated that she was involved with a rival gang member.[1]
After Haji Laloo's arrest in 2001, Baloch replaced him as the chief of Laloo's gang.[1]
Killing
[edit]Dakait was killed in a shootout with Karachi police, on 9 August 2009.
