Shirin Tagabi, a former public uprising commander, was assassinated by unidentified individuals in the Shirin Tagab district of Faryab province, local sources reported.
He was attacked on Monday whilst returning from Maimana city to his residence in the Daryacha-i-Gorzad area.
Taliban local officials have confirmed the incident and announced that an investigation is underway.
This killing adds to a series of mysterious deaths involving members of the former Afghan government's security forces since the Taliban's takeover. International human rights organisations have pointed to a pattern of detentions, torture, and killings of these individuals, accusing the Taliban of involvement.
In response, the Taliban has denied such allegations, attributing most of these deaths to personal or familial disputes rather than political motives.
