Taliban insurgents kidnapped an administrative director of Kunduz police in northern Afghanistan.
Local security officials said, the administrative director of Kunduz police was abducted as he was travelling on Kunduz-Takhar highway, reports Khamma Press.
The officials added that a policeman was also killed in the process.
So far, the Taliban militant group has not commented regarding the incident, but the local security officials have said, that an operation was underway for the release of the Kunduz police administrative director.
The abduction comes as the Taliban militants suffered heavy casualties during a military operation launched by the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) which led to the opening of Kunduz-Takhar highway last week.
