One of the deceased, Danish Ali, was the only brother of two sisters. His father told Geo News, Danish left his house 18 days back.  

After the bodies were recovered, an operation was launched in the area.  

A few days back, 15 bodies were recovered from Buleda area of Turbat. The deceased were set to be residents of Punjab who were being sent to Europe , via Iran, illegally through agents.

While Buleda borders the Pakistan-Iran border, Tajban is closer to Panjgur. 

While speaking to Geo News, Balochistan government spokesperson Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar said the five bodies were found during an operation which was launched in the area after the 15 bodies were recovered a few days back. 

He added that as per their assessment the five, recovered Friday night, could have been killed on the same day on which the other 15 were shot as the two areas, Buleda and Tajban, are not very far from each other.
