Chandigarh, October 20

Taliban militants allegedly beheaded a member of the Afghan junior women’s national volleyball team, a report quoting the team’s coach stated.

Mahjabin Hakimi played in the Afghan junior women’s national volleyball team. A coach has alleged that she was beheaded by the Taliban earlier this month.

In an interview, the coach said a woman player named Mahjabin Hakimi was killed by the Taliban earlier in October, but nobody learnt about the gruesome murder as the insurgents had threatened her family not to talk about it.

Mahjabin played for the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club before the collapse of the Ashraf Ghani government, and was one of the club’s star players.

Then, a few days ago, pictures of what seemed to be her severed head and bloodied neck turned up on social media.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
