In Afghanistan's Ghor Province, the Taliban allegedly broke into the home of a female police officer, tortured her in front of her husband and son, and shot her dead on the way.
A female police officer, Bano Nigar, was shot dead in Ferozkoh, the capital of Afghanistan's Ghor province, according to the BBC. Relatives of the female official have blamed the Taliban for the killing.
Speaking to the BBC, relatives of the slain Bano Nigar said the Taliban broke into the house and tortured the female police officer in front of her husband and son and shot her in the head on the way out.
Relatives say they were at home at the time of the incident and were eyewitnesses to the incident, but the Taliban told the BBC they had nothing to do with the killing and were investigating. Are
On the other hand, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that he was aware of the incident. We have already announced a general amnesty for those working for the former government.
The Taliban spokesman added that Taliban fighters were not involved in the killing of the woman, but our investigation is ongoing. It is possible that the female police officer was killed due to personal enmity or some other reason.
According to the BBC, people in Ferozkoh are themselves injured and do not want to give details of the incident. It was not immediately clear what prompted the killings, and if the killers were not Taliban, then who was in Taliban garb.
