Two Pakistani nationals were killed and five others were arrested when Iran’s border security forces acted against a group of people allegedly trying to enter into Iran illegally.
Gwadar Assistant Commissioner Jamil Ahmed told DawnNewsTV that the bodies and arrested men were handed over to Balochistan Levies personnel by Iranian border authorities on border-post 250 located on the Pak-Iran border near Gwadar.
The bodies were shifted to District Headquarters Hospital Gwadar, while the arrested persons were handed over to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) where a case will be registered against them under the Passport Act.
Officials at the DHQ hospital said the deceased, identified as Shahzeb Khan and Mohammad Sadiq, belonged to Bannu district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Sad but practical step by Iran. Our citizens must understand to get proper visa before entering other countries.

It’s funny that the Iran doesn’t seem to mind when IS militants cross their western border - as long as IS continues on to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

We understand the sensitivity of the matter but killing unarmed people is brutal by the Iranian border guards.

All for putting food on the table for their families? What a shame, while drug, narcotic and weapons smugglers can go across at will. One Day humanity will have to pay for these sins collectively.

Illegal trade of human trafficking is still continuing. The human smugglers lure the simple innocent people to go abroad via Iran, and such travellors got into horrific circumstances like in the instant case. The border management must be more strict and no such incident may occur, which is a matter of disrespect to nation's name.

Time to find human trafficking who sent these people to Iran. Time to educate and create awareness in general public for illegal crossing of border. Where are NGO's who are busy in doing welfare (minting money) work. Create awareness by advertising on media and social media. Save innocent people to become the victim of these criminals.

Why Iran had to kill them? Were they terrorists?Did they open fire on Iranian army? They should have arrested them and returned back to Pakistan.
