His body was found on Sunday, a day after he had gone missing, dumped about 5km from Lashkar Gah, Andiwal said.

“Unknown armed men had abducted Rohani and his body was found yesterday. He had four bullets shot at his chest. We are investigating the case,” he said.

A Taliban spokesman, Yousuf Ahmadi, said his group was not involved in the killing and had been trying to locate the journalist after his colleagues said he had gone missing.

“We were also looking for him. We are not involved in his death and this is not our work,” he said.
