TOLO News Reporter Ziar Khan Yaad Denies Reports of His 'Killing' by Taliban in Afghanistan, Says 'I Was Beaten Up'

TOLO News reporter Ziar Khan Yaad has dismissed reports of his "killing" by Taliban in Afghanistan. In his tweets, Ziar Khan Yaad said he was beaten up by the Taliban in Kabul's New City. "Some people have spread the news of my death which is false," he clarified. Many people, including journalists, claimed that a TOLO News reporter has been killed by the Taliban.

I still don't know why they behaved like that and suddenly attacked me. The issue has been shared with Taliban leaders; however, the perpetrators have not yet been arrested, which is a serious threat to freedom of expression.
