According to a storey published in a US-based publication, the Taliban "brutally killed" Danish Siddiqui after establishing his identification. In afghanistan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning indian photojournalist was reporting combat between Afghan forces and the Taliban. He travelled with an Afghan National army squad.
Siddiqui, 38, was killed while on duty in Afghanistan. The award-winning journalist was murdered while reporting battles between the Afghan military and the Taliban in Kandahar's Spin Boldak region to cover fighting between Afghan forces and the Taliban over control of the lucrative Pakistan-Afghan border crossing. According to PTI, a Taliban onslaught divided the squad when they reached within a third of a mile of the customs station, with the commander and a few soldiers separated from Siddiqui, who stayed with three other Afghan forces.
Siddiqui was injured by shrapnel during the attack, so he and his crew hurried to a nearby mosque for first assistance. However, when news got out that a journalist was inside the mosque, the Taliban struck. According to the article, a local inquiry indicates that the Taliban assaulted the mosque solely because of Siddiqui's presence there.
The Taliban confirmed Siddiqui's identification before killing him and his companions. The commander and the rest of his crew were killed while attempting to save him, according to the report.
The Taliban's choice to execute journalist Danish Siddiqui and then mutilate his body demonstrates that they do not follow the rules of war or the standards that regulate world behaviour. According to an expert investigation, the Taliban battered him about the head and then shot him in the torso.
After his body landed at delhi airport on July 18, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist nawazuddin siddiqui was put to rest at the Jamia Millia Islamia cemetery. He has covered significant events in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, including the afghanistan conflict, the hong kong demonstrations, and other important events in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
