LASHKARGAH, Afghanistan, 26 March, 2021, (TON): Suspected Taliban insurgents shot and killed a persuasive ancestral senior in this capital city of southern Helmand region, the lead representative said on Friday.

Governor Abdul Nabi Ilham said the elder was gunned down in the Nehr Siraj zone of Lashkargah last Thursday. He identified the slain elder as Ghulam Jan Aka, a previous top of the social gathering of the Sangin area and commander of Afghan local police.

The governor said Jan Aka had delivered various penances during his battle to keep solidarity among individuals and make ready for improvement just as for the insurance of the dirt and public honor.

The governor instructed intelligence agencies to find the killers and punish them for their actions. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousaf Ahmadi claimed responsibility for the killing.
