KABUL: A team of Afghan intelligence agents poured around 3,000 liters of liquor into the canal in Kabul, said the country’s spy agency on Sunday, when the new Taliban authority took action against alcohol sales.
The video recording released by the Directorate General of Intelligence (GDI) shows his agents pouring alcohol stored in barrels into the canal after winning him during the attack in the capital.
“Muslims must seriously distance themselves from making and providing alcohol,” said a religious scholar in a video posted by agency on Twitter on Sunday.
It is not clear when the attack was carried out or right when alcohol was destroyed, but the statement issued by the agency said the three dealers were arrested during the operation.
Selling and consuming alcohol is prohibited even under the previous Western-supported regime, but the Taliban, which is known for their hard Islamic brands, more stringent in their opposition to it.
Because Islamists seized power on August 15, the frequency of raids, including drug addicts, has increased throughout the country.
The Taliban government ministry for the promotion of virtues and prevention of representatives also publishes several guidelines that limit women’s rights.
