The musician was killed by Taliban terrorists. This happened a few days after the leaders of the extremist movement introduced new rules in the country, including a ban on music, the newspaper points out.

“Music is prohibited in Islam. We hope that we will be able to convince people not to do such things, instead of putting pressure on them, ”- said the official spokesman for the terrorists Zabihullah Mujahid.
