PARAKH (Pajhwok): Four people have been arrested in connection to the killing of a former defence ministry official in the Paryan district of central Panjsher province, an official said on Wednesday.

Panjsher Police Chief Mawlavi Dad Mohammad Batar told Pajhwok Afghan News that Taza Gul, 25, hailing from the Sarkamar village was killed as a result of personal animosity.

He had enmity with his in-laws; he was killed in an ambush on Tuesday evening by his enemy. In the past, he survived several attacks.

Pajhwok tried to reach Taza Gul’s family or his in-laws but nobody were available for comments.
