Recently, a 40-year-old man was found murdered in this province. According to these sources, the incident took place on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 13, along the Rostaq-Dasht-e-Qala highway in Takhar.
The victim, identified as Hujjatullah, was discovered by local residents with his hands bound behind his back with a rope. Sources confirm that Hujjatullah was shot to death. His body has since been transferred to the hospital in the Dasht-e-Qala district of Takhar province. The motive behind this murder remains unclear, and local Taliban officials have yet to comment on the incident.
This killing comes amid a growing wave of criminal activities, including armed robberies, targeted killings, and kidnappings, which have heightened concerns among citizens in recent weeks.
