Taliban continued its latest crackdown on alcohol and drugs sale in line with its interpretation of Shariah Law as a team of Afghan intelligence agents poured about 3,000 litres of liquor into a canal in Kabul.
Video footage released by the General Directorate of Intelligence showed its agents pouring alcohol stored in barrels into the canal after seizing it during a raid in the capital.
“Muslims have to seriously abstain from making and delivering alcohol,” a religious scholar said in the video, posted by the agency on Twitter.
A statement issued by the agency on Sunday said three dealers were arrested during the operation.
Selling and consuming alcohol was banned even under the previous Western-backed regime but the Taliban are stricter in their opposition to it.
Since the Islamists seized power on 15 August, the frequency of raids, including on drug addicts, has increased across the country.
