Man Arrested For Allegedly Trafficking 130 Women In Afghanistan
The Taliban have arrested a man for allegedly dealing dozens of women in northern Afghanistan after duping them into believing they would be marrying into plutocrat, officers said Tuesday.
The man was arrested in northern Jawzjan fiefdom late on Monday, Damullah Seraj, the Taliban parochial police chief, told journalists.
“We’re still in our original stages of the disquisition. We hope to find out further about this case latterly,”he said.
Mohammad Sardar Mubariz, a quarter police chief in Jawzjan, told AFP the man would target poor women hopeless to ameliorate their circumstances.
After saying he’d find them a fat hubby, he’d move them to a different fiefdom where they were rather vended into yoke.
Crime, nepotism and corruption aren’t new in Afghanistan but rising poverty is undermining the Taliban government’s claim to legality.
Since their return to power about three months agone, the Taliban are trying to contain a torrent of crimes similar as thieveries and hijackings in the big metropolises.
On Tuesday, the Taliban interior ministry said 60 people– including members of the passport department– were arrested for forging documents to gain passports.
The ministry said it was temporarily closing the passport office in Kabul for conservation.
