The Bild newspaper reported that the German police were aware of the holding of a funeral ceremony for Khalil-ur-Rehman Haqqani by the Afghan Cultural Association Hesse eV.
The German police assessed the situation in cooperation with the Federal Criminal Police Office and the state's Criminal Police Office and were present at the scene, the newspaper said.
The German newspaper Bild quoted a spokesman for the German Interior Ministry in the state of Hesse as saying that the police became aware of the matter and investigated it after the Afghan Cultural Association Hesse eV of this state called for a funeral ceremony for Khalil Haqqani.
The newspaper, which also criticised the celebration, wrote, "Afghans who took refuge in Germany before the Taliban takeover have expressed their concern and anger over the celebration on social media."
According to a report by Bild, the presence of Afghans at the Haqqani funeral in Frankfurt was low, with only a small number of men attending the Hamza Grand Mosque on Sunday afternoon.
Bild wrote about the Taliban's Minister of Refugees, "Haqqani was the uncle of Sirajuddin Haqqani, the current Minister of Interior and the leader of one of the powerful factions of the Taliban. In the past 20 years, members of the Haqqani Network have been involved in hundreds of deadly attacks on civilians."
Khalil-ur-Rehman Haqqani, the Taliban's minister of refugee affairs, was killed in a suicide attack on Wednesday, December 11, which was claimed by the ISIS.
The holding of a funeral ceremony for Khalil Haqqani in Frankfurt, Germany, has been met with severe criticism.
Some have seen the move as a sign of the presence of Taliban supporters in the city and have expressed concerns about threats against Afghans opposed to the Taliban.
