before the incident

Less than a month before being kidnapped and killed, Maulvi Abdulwahid Rigi, on November 14, 2022, at the "Consolidation of Unity and Empathy" conference held in Zahedan city, had a meeting with a three-member delegation sent to Sistan and Balochistan by the Supreme Leader of Iran Seyyed Ali Khamenei. The publication of his words in this meeting caused many media to speculate about his murder. Maulvi Abdulwahid Rigi emphasized in this conversation:

"I was on the front line during the eight years of Holy Defense, and we have always been on the scene during the revolution, including during all the country's elections, and this is our honor. During the recent chaos in Khash, I said that no one has the right to leave the mosque because we knew that the hypocrites were outside and we knew what they were doing. We have nothing to say other than Islam, Islamic system, Iran and brotherhood with Shia. You have to read history to understand how close we Sunnis of Sistan and Baluchistan have been with our Shia brothers. I have even been threatened by hostile groups; But these have no effect. We love you Shia brothers for God's sake. We love this country, the leadership is our friend."
