Taliban police in Bamyan report 340 criminal cases over 10 months, 624 arrests
The Taliban police command in Bamyan announced that from the beginning of Hamal to the end of Jadi in the current solar year, a total of 340 criminal cases were registered in the province.
Mohammad Ismail Thaqib, spokesman for the Taliban police command in Bamyan, said 624 suspects were arrested in connection with these incidents. He detailed the cases as including 14 murders, nine armed robberies, 77 thefts, six instances of domestic violence, 16 cases of running away from home, 24 incidents resulting in injuries, and 113 other various crimes.
Bamyan was one of Afghanistan's safest provinces before the Taliban took power in August 2021. The province is known for its ancient and natural attractions, making it a key tourist destination.
In May 2025, armed men attacked a vehicle carrying foreign tourists in central Bamyan city, killing three Spanish tourists and their translator.
Taliban officials have claimed to have established comprehensive security across Afghanistan, though previous reporting cited Taliban administration statistics indicating a significant rise in criminal offenses, particularly murders and thefts.
