The video shows Mujahid seated with his hands tied in the trunk of a truck, surrounded by a group of Taliban affiliates who are accusing him of various crimes and felonies.

The Taliban affiliates are also seen to be mildly beating and cursing him.

Mujahid was reportedly arrested after he defied a warrant from the Taliban who had asked him to go to the district office of Deh Sabz district in Kabul, but officials have not commented on the issue yet, the report said.

Mujahid was a former Mujahideen commander who was not only warning the previous government, but also the Taliban.
