Local sources in Takhar have reported that Taliban fighters have detained six civilians, including two women, in the Warsaj district of the province.
Sources have informed Hasht-e Subh that Taliban intelligence forces entered the residence of Jabar, the former representative of the Takhar people in parliament, on the night of Sunday, July 9. They arrested his nephew, niece, two farmers, and their wives, subsequently transferring them to an undisclosed location.
According to the sources, the Taliban released the two farmers and their wives after subjecting them to torture and coerced confessions regarding the disclosure of weapons’ locations. However, there is currently no information available regarding the fate of the nephew and niece, who are related to the former representative of the Takhar people in parliament.
The Taliban have not issued any statements regarding this incident as of yet.
It is important to note that in recent days, the Taliban have escalated the detention of civilians and conducted thorough house-to-house searches throughout Takhar.
The Warsaj district, situated near Panjshir, holds significant strategic value for the Taliban.
