Akbar Bugti

Nawab Akbar Shahbaz Khan Bugti (12 July 1926 – 26 August 2006) was a prominent Pakistani politician and the leader (Tumandar) of the Bugti tribe among the Baloch people. He held several important positions, including Minister of State for Interior and Governor of Balochistan Province. Additionally, he served as Minister of State for Defence in Feroz Khan Noon's cabinet, having previously been the Minister of State for Interior.

Bugti was actively involved in a movement, sometimes using armed resistance, to demand more autonomy for Balochistan. The Pakistani government accused him of maintaining a private militia and waging guerrilla warfare against the state. On 26 August 2006, Bugti was killed when his hideout, a cave in Kohlu located around 150 miles east of Quetta, collapsed.
