RASC News Agency: Local sources in Daikundi have informed the media that the Taliban’s criminal director for Khadir district has detained three residents of the “Korgah” area in connection with the disappearance of his motorcycle. These individuals were reportedly taken into custody yesterday Wednesday, August 21, and their current location remains unknown.
The sources reveal that the detainees are the son, nephew, and cousin of Haji Khudadad, who had been hosting the Taliban’s criminal director when the motorcycle went missing. The individuals in question identified as Hamed, Farhad, and Jawid have been accused by the Taliban official of stealing the motorcycle. However, according to reports, the Taliban official apprehended them without any substantial evidence or formal documentation, and they have yet to be transferred to the Taliban’s official judicial system, being instead held privately by the criminal director.
One source informed the media that the Taliban member’s motorcycle was valued at 70,000 kabuli rupees, and he has already extorted 60,000 kabuli rupees as compensation from the local residents and his host. This sum was handed over to Taliban authorities in Khadir district last week.
Such conduct, undeniably, finds no parallel even in the most tyrannical and dictatorial regimes across the world. The Taliban, who present themselves as the staunchest defenders of Islam and claim that their ethnically-driven dictatorship embodies a purer form of Islam than that practiced by Muslims of past and present generations, engage in actions that are utterly inhumane and stand in stark contradiction to the principles of justice and fairness.
