Kabul [Afghanistan], January 15 (ANI): A 25-year-old girl, Zainab, in the western Kabul's Dasht-e-Barchi has been shot dead at a check post of Taliban, when she, along with her family members, was on the way home back from a wedding function.

The father is asking for justice over the killing of her daughter and said that the culprits should be arrested, reported Khaama Press.
