CHARSADDA: Armed Taliban patrolled Harichand Bazaar in the jurisdiction of Mandani Police Station and removed cassette and CD players from the vehicles on Tuesday.
Sources said that several Taliban equipped with arms patrolled Harichand Bazaar, a town of Charsadda district located near the boundary of semi-tribal and infamous Sakhakot, removed music equipment from the vehicles and smashed them. They also directed the people not to listen to music and barbers not to shave off beards.
Taliban, the sources added, asked women to wear veil (burqa) or else stern action would be taken against them. Taking prompt action, the Mandani police arrested a Talib, identified as Habibul Haq son of Maulvi Muhammad Alam, resident of Kalakot village of Swat district, and shifted him to an undisclosed location.
During preliminary interrogation, the militant has said that the aim of their patrol in Harichand Bazaar was to launch struggle for the enforcement of Shariah in other areas after implementation of Nizam-e-Adl in Malakand division.
