Dera Bugti District Co-ordination Officer (DCO) Abdul Samad Lasi, while denying reports of killing of Maulana Malook said "No such murderous attack was made on him and he was safe. "Maulana Malook Bugti had led funeral prayers of Nawab Akbar Bugti the other day and claimed to have seen the face of Nawab prior to his burial.

Maulana Malook is very much with him at this moment, while some persons want to achieve their ulterior motives by spreading baseless rumours, he said, adding law and order situation in Dera Bugti was under control and an Ulema Mashaikh conference was being held here, to review the tribal laws.
