On Wednesday, April 13, 2022, Taliban intelligence operatives in Bamyan Province arrested Sattar Baig from Yakawlang District No. 1. Baig served as the personal secretary to Mawlawi Mahdi, a former prominent Hazara Taliban commander. The exact reason for Baig's detention remains unclear. However, local residents suggest that his association with Mawlawi Mahdi was the primary cause for his arrest.
