Mohammad Amin was a resident of the Ghand Sang village in the Pushtun Kot district of Faryab province, and the occurrence of this incident has been confirmed by Taliban authorities in Faryab province, although the exact motive and reason for these killings have not been precisely determined.
This comes as, following the Taliban’s takeover of the country, the statistics of criminal incidents, especially mysterious and targeted killings, armed robberies, and the killing of former government soldiers, have increased in various parts of the country. In a previous incident, the body of a man who had been mysteriously murdered was found in Balkh province. It is noteworthy that these reports become public while the Taliban group has consistently claimed to have overall security control in the country following their takeover.
