Suspected members of the Taliban shot and killed Indian author Sushmita Banerjee in Afghanistan Thursday. Banerjee's book about her escape from the Taliban became a Bollywood
film and may have been a motive for the shooting, police said.
Suspected Taliban in Afghanistan shot dead Indian author Sushmita Banerjee, whose book about her dramatic escape from the militants in the 90s became a Bollywood film, police said on Thursday.
Police in insurgency-hit Paktika province, in the east of Afghanistan, said they found the body of the 49 year old on Thursday morning, after the militants dragged her out of her husband's home late in the night and shot her repeatedly.
"We found her bullet-riddled body near a madrassa on the outskirts of Sharan city (the provincial capital) this morning," provincial police chief Dawlat Khan Zadran told AFP, confirming earlier reports from Indian media.
Banerjee's book "Kabuliwala's Bengali Wife", about her escape from the Taliban, was made into a Bollywood film in 2003.
