 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.
+== Early life and family ==
+Nawab Akbar Shahbaz Khan Bugti was born on 12 July 1926 in Dera Bugti, which is now part of Balochistan. He was the son of Nawab Mehrab Khan Bugti, the chief of their tribe, and the grandson of Sir Shahbaz Khan Bugti. Akbar received his early education at Karachi Grammar School and later attended Aitchison College after the death of his father. He eventually went on to study at Oxford University. Following his father’s passing, he became the ''tumandar'' (chief) of the Bugti tribe.
+Nawab Akbar Bugti had three wives and a total of thirteen children, including six sons and seven daughters. His first wife bore him four sons: Nawabzada Saleem Bugti, Talal Bugti, Rehan Bugti, and Salal Bugti; however, none of them are alive today. Nawabzada Salal Bugti was killed in a shootout in Quetta in June 1996, involving a rival Bugti Kalpar sub-clan. From his second wife, he had a son named Jamil Bugti, and from his third wife, he had another son named Shahzwar Bugti. Jamil Bugti and Shahzwar Bugti are the only surviving sons of Nawab Akbar Bugti.
