Verification: Afghan women’s volleyball player, Mahjabin Hakimi, was not beheaded by the Taliban
The post is viral on Facebook and Twitter with claims “Afghan women’s Volleyball team member, Mahjabin Hakimi, brutally beheaded by Taliban in Kabul.” Several media outlets also reported false claims. Several film personalities and well-known people shared the false post. Taliban took over Afghanistan on 15th Aug 2021. She was dead on August 6, 2021,i.e, before the Taliban took over Kabul. Mahajabeen’s family told AltNews “She was not killed by the Taliban in October. Mahjabin’s death occurred on August 6 and her body was found in her fiancé’s bathroom in Kabul. He claimed Mahjabin suffocated herself to death. However, our family suspects foul play by her in-laws.” Her brother Skandar Hakimi has posted on 7th Aug 2021 about her demise on his Facebook account to which people have replied with condolence messages.

A tweet by the former head of TOLO news that the news of Mahjabin’s killing by the Taliban is false.
This is not true, she committed suicide 10 days before Kabul takeover by Taliban when I was heading TOLOnews Newsgathering. https://t.co/xPSRFkkepj

Taliban spokesman Dr. Mohammad Naeem also wrote in a tweet in Arabic that Mahjabin’s death took place during the previous regime before the Taliban came to power.
ما نشر من خبر مقتل رياضية باسم ماه جبين
حكيمي من قبل الحكومة الحالية كذب وافتراء ،ليس له أصل من الحقيقة.
بعض المعلومات يفيد بأن هذا حدث في ظل حكم إدارة كابول السابقة. أي قبل دخول المجاهدين إلى كابول.— Dr.M.Naeem (@IeaOffice) October 21, 2021
Journalist Deepa Parent wrote that she spoke with Hakimi’s family and they said that the news of her death is “misleading”.
Guys, spoke to a family member of Ms. Hakimi and have deleted the tweets about her death. Please consider the family’s request and delete them too. The news about the cause of her death is misleading. Please do pray for her peace. RIP
