DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Saif-ur-Rehman Mahsud demanded a martyrs’ compensation package for the families of those killed in the suicide attack in Dera Ismail Khan, saying the relatives of the victims had been left without official support weeks after the incident.
Addressing a press conference at the Mahsud Press Club in South Waziristan Upper, he said his younger brother, Malik Inayatullah Mahsud, was killed in a suicide bombing that struck a wedding ceremony in Dera Ismail Khan on January 23, 2026. He said no government representative had contacted the family since the attack.
Mahsud said his brother was a government employee in the public health department, yet neither the department nor the provincial government had approached the family. He added that no one had contacted them regarding the welfare or future of Inayatullah Mahsud’s children.
He said other victims of the same attack included Advocate Abdul Majeed Lagri, Shahzad, also known as Zabay, and contractor Rehmanullah. According to the information available to him, he said, the families of these victims had also not been contacted by the authorities.
Mahsud urged the provincial government to immediately announce and provide a martyrs’ package for the affected families and to take concrete steps to ensure the financial support and proper upbringing of the children left behind.
