MAIMANA (Pajhwok): Some tribal elders in northern Faryab province on Tuesday complained they were beaten by gunmen of a local commander after they refused to vote for a candidate of his choice.
Commander Dadi directed his gunmen to punish those refusing to vote in favour of presidential contender Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, they alleged.
Sardar Bai, an influential figure from Balcharagh district, complained he sustained wounds on his body when gunmen loyal to Dadi attacked him.
