[TOLONEWS] On Thursday, General Zahir Zahir, head of the Kabul Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), said that warrants have been issued for MP Allah Gul Mujahid and his brother, Janat Gul, on charges of murder, kidnapping and land grabbing.
The announcement came after a clash occurred last month in which MP Mujahid's security personnel fought with police in the Deh Sabz district of Kabul. The confrontation between the MP's men and the police was sparked when some Japanese engineers from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) went to the district to assess investment opportunities and persons in the employement of Mujahid attacked them. The clash left at least six people dead and 16 others injured.
The Nomad MP and his brother are now wanted by police for their involvement in the clash, as well as in a series of other criminal cases related to men in their employment. Gen. Zahir said that the MP is wanted on the grounds of 30 different criminal cases.
"Whenever a killing happens, the killer goes to Allah Gul Mujahid to hide and receive support. Same in cases with people involved in kidnapping and land grabbing activities. All criminals take shelter in Allah Gul Mujahid's house and he helps them," Gen. Zahir told TOLOnews.
However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
MP Mujahid called all the charges levied against him and his brother "baseless."
"I refute all the charges against me and my brother. If I killed someone, his family should come to me and say that you or your brother killed my family member -- at least one person should claim that," said Mujahid.
