Local sources in Sar-e Pol province confirmed that the body of Abdul Bashir Mohammadi, a former member of the Afghan National Police, was discovered inside a deep well approximately 25 days after his disappearance.
According to sources, Mohammadi was 28 years old and originally from Sozma Qala district of Sar-e Pol province. Following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, he had been working as a taxi driver in the provincial capital to support his family.
Sources stated that Mohammadi disappeared under mysterious circumstances about 25 days ago, and his body was eventually retrieved from a deep well. The exact motives and perpetrators behind his killing remain unconfirmed.
Since the Taliban returned to power, numerous incidents involving mysterious killings, arbitrary detentions, torture, and forced disappearances of former Afghan defense and security personnel have been documented.
Although the Taliban leadership announced a general amnesty for former government employees and military personnel, the United Nations has repeatedly raised concerns over persistent violations of the decree.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) recorded at least 800 human rights violations against former security forces and officials between August 15, 2021, and June 30, 2023, including extrajudicial killings and torture.
Furthermore, a joint investigative report by five media outlets in October 2025 noted that at least 110 former soldiers were killed between early 2023 and mid-2025 across Afghanistan.
