Local sources in Ghor province have reported the arrest of Mufti Abdul Rashid, known as “Lazeri,” a Taliban commander, who was caught in an act of adultery with a married woman. The incident occurred in the Dawlina district on Wednesday, where neighbors apprehended the pair and handed them over to authorities.

Reports state that the woman’s husband has been working in Iran for several months. The woman reportedly confessed to having an illicit relationship with the Taliban official for the past two months. The discovery has sparked outrage among local residents, who detained the commander before Taliban forces arrived.

Critics point to this incident as evidence of moral hypocrisy within the Taliban ranks. While the group imposes strict Sharia interpretations and severe punishments on ordinary citizens for moral offenses, such scandals involving their own officials undermine their claims of religious purity and justice.
