He wanted the government to give jobs to local people in Sui gas. Akbar was against the set up of new Cantonment in areas like Dera Bugti. The government should restore the confidence of local people and the provincial government by taking vital action.

On 26 August 2006, Nawab Bugti died when a cave falls into pieces in Kohlu. He was buried in Dera bugti and placed his grave next to his son and brother. Akbar was killed along with 21 soldiers and 60 militants. The cave collapsed due to cross firing between soldiers and militants.
