Media reports claimed that Danish was brutally killed by the Taliban. There were many wounds on his body. Siddiqui was alive when the Taliban captured him. The Taliban also confirmed Siddiqui's identity. It is alleged that Taliban terrorists took Danish and his associates and later brutally killed them.
Taliban refuses to 'kill'
The Taliban, on the other hand, denied Danish's killing. Taliban said- This photojournalist died during cross firing. Danish had not taken approval for coverage from him. We had said many times that if journalists come here, first take our approval. We give them security.
