Officials reported Tuesday that the Taliban had captured a guy for allegedly selling scores of women in northern Afghanistan after duping them into believing they would marry into money.
Damullah Seraj, the Taliban provincial police chief, informed reporters that the individual was apprehended late Monday in northern Jawzjan province.
“We are still in the early phases of our investigation. We hope to learn more about this situation in the future “He stated.
After saying he would find them a wealthy husband, he would move them to a different province where they were instead sold into servitude.
He allegedly trafficked around 130 women this way.
On Tuesday, the Taliban interior ministry said 60 people — including members of the passport department — were arrested for forging documents to obtain passports.
The ministry said it was temporarily closing the passport office in Kabul for maintenance.
