Tolo News journalist Ziar Khan has been covering the situation in Afghanistan closely.

Armed Taliban broke his camera, snatched the phone, and beat him badly. He was badly injured in this incident.
Tolo News published news in the Pashto language on its news website on Thursday at 10.45 am. He shared it on social media. In Pashto, he wrote in the heading that the reporter of Tolo News was assaulted by the Taliban in Kabul. The meaning changed when its heading was changed to English via Google Translator. After translation, it was told that the reporter of Tolo News was killed in Kabul by the Taliban. It was only after this post that the news of Ziar's murder started becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Things are getting worse for people gathering at Kabul airport to come out of Afghanistan. There is fear and the prices of food items are also increasing wildly. The situation is that for a bottle of water 40 dollars, that is, about 3 thousand rupees and a plate of rice, 100 dollars, that is, about seven and a half thousand rupees, have to be paid and that too is being taken only in dollars.
