Two Taliban members have allegedly sexually assaulted a teenager on the outskirts of Jalalabad city, local sources said. The victim's father has requested officials of Nangarhar province to punish the perpetrators, according to documents obtained by Afghanistan International.
In the documents, it has been stated that two Taliban men sexually assaulted a boy at a farm.
A source told Afghanistan International that the two who have been accused of the rape, are members of a Taliban police station on the outskirts of Jalalabad city.
They started to form friendly relations with this boy a month ago, and on Saturday afternoon last week, they took him to a farm and sexually assaulted him.
A social activist in the city said that such incidents have repeatedly taken place, but some victims remain silent for various reasons.
In recent days, Qari Saeed Khosty, the former spokesperson of the Taliban's Ministry of Interior, has also been accused of sexually assaulting a female student.
Previously, a Taliban commander in Ghor Province was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting his bodyguard and then, was released as well.
