On June 15, 2013, the historical Quaid-e-Azam Residency was attacked and completely burnt down by militants belonging to the Balochistan Liberation Army. The residency was later rebuilt and brought back to its original glory by the government and was then inaugurated on August 14, 2014. Of the 13, eleven were out on bail while two were in jail. The verdict was reserved on October 4.
