Afghanistan family claims their son, who served as MoD officer, detained by Taliban
Kabul: A family in the Afghan capital of Kabul has claimed that their son, who had earlier served as an officer at the Ministry of Defense, has been detained by Taliban forces, media reports said on Wednesday.
According to former MoD officer Javad Jafari's family, two nights ago some individuals, claiming to be members of the Islamic Emirate, entered their house at 8 pm without a court order and forcibly arrested Jafari and took him to an unknown location, reports Tolo News.
“They drew guns on us, they did not ask anyone, they just said 'we are from the Islamic Emirate.' They beat Javad and dragged him out of the house,” Feriba, Javad’s wife, told the news portal.
“We are very scared, we ask the Islamic Emirate to free my father safely and alive,” Ali Sajad, Javad’s son, told the news portal.
Kabul Police Command, however, denied detention of the former government officer.
