After KP says no, Balochistan gets new bulletproof vehicles.
After KP's leader sent back old armored cars, the government will now give them to Balochistan for its police.
ISLAMABAD – QUETTA – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – The federal government stated on Wednesday that it would deliver state-of-the-art bulletproof vehicles to the Balochistan government after Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s newly elected Chief Minister, Mohammad Sohail Afridi, returned the fleet previously assigned to KP police.
On October 9, 2025, the Interior Ministry handed over a fleet of bulletproof vehicles to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police during a ceremony in Islamabad, with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi formally giving the keys to Inspector General Zulfiqar Hameed. These vehicles were designed to improve the operating capability and safety of police officers conducting high-risk security missions throughout the province.
However, CM Sohail Afridi rejected the vehicles, calling them outdated and expired. He stated, “Offering outdated and expired bulletproof vehicles to the KP police is an insult to the courage and sacrifices of our officers. We will be returning these vehicles to the federal government.”
Meanwhile, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti urged the federal government to handover the vehicles to the province, citing the province’s ongoing fight against terrorism. On social networking platform X, he stated, “Balochistan, like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is severely affected by terrorism.” If KP refuses these bulletproof vehicles, they should be delivered to Balochistan to help us fight terrorism.”

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi promptly accepted the request, stating on X, “CM Sahib, done. These bulletproof vehicles will be sent to Balochistan immediately to boost counter-terrorism efforts. Thank you for raising this.”
CM Bugti expressed his gratitude, saying, “On behalf of the people of Balochistan, I personally thank you for your steadfast support.”
