Islamabad: Ehsanullah Ehsan, the Taliban terrorist who was responsible for shooting Nobel Peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai in 2012, has escaped from the custody of the Pakistani security authorities along with his family, media reports said on Friday.
In an audio clip, the Taliban terrorist could be heard that he escaped from the custody with his wife, son and daughter,
“I am Ehsanullah Ehsan. I am the former spokesman of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and Jamaatul Ahrar. I had surrendered to the Pakistani security authorities on February 5, 2017 under an agreement. I honoured this agreement for three years, but the Pakistani authorities violated it and kept me in a prison along with my children,” he alleged in the statement released to the media as reported by The News International.
“On January 11, 2020 with the help of Allah, I succeeded in escaping from custody,” Ehsan claimed.
“I will also mention on whose approval this accord was made with me. And what were the terms and conditions of the agreement and which prominent figure had assured me that the agreement will be implemented,” he added.
He said he will unveil that in which condition he was kept in the custody.
However, it must be noted that the authenticity of the audio and veracity of Ehsanullah Ehsan's claim was not verified by the Pakistan government or the country's security forces.
