Six-month pregnant Afghan policewoman brutally shot down before her children by Taliban
Kabul: The Taliban in Ghor Province brutally killed an Afghan Policewoman after gunning her down in front of her husband and children.
The information was shared by an Afghan Journalist on social media platform Twitter adding that the policewoman Nigara was six-month-pregnant when she was brutally killed.
Women feared for their lives and started buying headscarves and body coverings to avoid harsh punishments by the Taliban for not abiding by their set of rules, something that the country was used to in the late 90s, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Sunday.
Amid the Taliban taking control of Afghanistan once again after 20 years, dozens of women held protests in Herat carrying banners with slogans demanding rights and female representation in the government, Tolo news reported according to Times of India.
Experts are predicting that women in Afghanistan are most likely to face an uncertain future under the rule of the Taliban.
Dr. Sajjan Gohel, a security and terrorism analyst said that women are scared out of their (Taliban) minds.
"From the Afghan women I've spoken to, it's incredibly traumatic. You're looking at an entire generation who only read about the Taliban in books. Now, they're having to live side-by-side with what is effectively a misogynistic cult." Dr. Gohel was quoted as saying by Times of India.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
