DERA GHAZI KHAN, March 23: The district police have impounded dozens of wagons to send back those Bugtis who were banished from Dera Bugti and currently settled in Rajanpur and Multan. Sources said that as many as 300 Bugti tribesmen led by Mir Hamadan Bugti, who is known as a rival of Nawab Akbar Bugti, would return to their homeland during the next couple of days.

Similarly, 4,000 tribesmen led by Qadir Bugti, currently settled in Rajanpur, would also return under a heavy security cover.

The government had already sent back hundreds of Bugtis via Dera Ghazi Khan to Baikar.
