The victim’s relatives are don’t know as to who could have targeted him and why, as they say he had no personal feuds with anyone.
Taliban security forces in Kabul have not yet commented on the incident.
In recent months, Kabul and other provinces have seen a surge in mysterious killings. In Sar-e-Pol province alone, two people have been killed in the past two days. These incidents raise concerns, given the Taliban’s claims of ensuring security throughout the country.
