KHAR, Oct 31: Another kidnapped boy of Bajaur Agency has managed to escape from the custody of Taliban after remaining in their captivity for two months in Kunar province of Afghanistan.

Relatives said that 18-year-old Asadullah reached his home in Erab village of Mamond tehsil in Bajaur on Sunday evening. He was among the 27 boys of Bajaur, kidnapped by Taliban on Aug 31 after they crossed over to Afghanistan.

They said that his health condition was not good. He had crossed the border somewhere at Nakhtar area after escaping from the custody of Taliban, they added. The local political administration also confirmed that another kidnapped boy had reached home safely.

Two other kidnapped boys had also dodged their captors and managed to reach their homes in Bajaur Agency earlier this month.

The Bajaur chapter of proscribed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for kidnapping 27 boys and keeping them hostages in Kunar province of Afghanistan. The kidnappers had also presented them before media 10 days after the incident. Taliban have demanded of the authorities to free their associates and dissolve tribal lashkars, formed against them, for the release of kidnapped boys.
