The Security Command of the Taliban in Kabul has announced that Allah Gul Mujahid, a former representative of the Afghan House of Representatives, has been identified as a suspect in the murder case of “Qari Saeedullah.”
Khaled Zadran, the spokesperson for the Security Command, told Khaama Press, on Sunday, May 12, that the available documents and evidence require that Allah Gul Mujahid remain in custody until the investigation is completed.
Khaled Zadran introduced Mr. Allah Gul Mujahid as a suspect in the murder case of “Qari Saeedullah” and added that investigations are underway to prove or dismiss this charge. He will remain in custody on suspicion of murder until the completion of the investigation and the issuance of the court’s verdict.
According to the newsletter, Qari Saeedullah, the individual whom Allah Gul Mujahid is suspected of murdering, was killed on December 30, 2023.
After the previous Afghan government fell in August 2021, Mujahid traveled to Iran and Turkey. He faced harassment and detention by the Taliban shortly after Kabul’s fall. Mujahid later returned to Afghanistan from Iran following communications with a Taliban commission.
The Taliban’s treatment of Mujahid since his return has been stringent, with immediate detention linked to ongoing investigations. According to experts, this behaviour indicates the Taliban’s continued approach to assert control and suppress potential opposition by closely monitoring and restricting the activities of political figures from the previous Afghan administration.
