Ali Sina Zafari’s close relatives say that the horrifying incident occurred around 8:30 PM, while Zafari was on his way home. Zafari was pursuing Journalism at the American University of Afghanistan. In the meantime, he was working as a finance employee at one of the private companies in Kabul.
Zafari’s family members state that police arrived in the crime scene one and a half-hour after the incident took place, and the victim was already transferred to a private hospital. So far, nobody has claimed the responsibility of this killing.
Meanwhile, social media users and social activists have launched a campaign titled “Kabul Is Not Safe” – while aiming to express their views about the ongoing murder cases and target-killings, they have accused police of being less proactive to provide security for civilians.
Ferdaws Faramarz, the Kabul police spokesperson, said police efforts are underway to arrest the perpetrators of the killing and deal with them accordingly.
