"Dileep Baloch was recovered last night and we are hopeful for the return of Hafeez Baloch also," Mazari tweeted, adding Baloch students' peaceful camp was ongoing outside the National Press Club of Islamabad.

Soon after Dileep's disappearance, a hashtag to release him started to trend.

Mahrang Baloch, a political worker, in a tweet, accused law enforcement agencies of abducting Dileep.

On Wednesday morning, the students once again staged a peaceful hunger strike in a camp despite a baton charge by security officials a day ago. They were demonstrating against the enforced disappearance of Hafeez Baloch and others outside the National Press Club in Islamabad.
