KHOST, AFGHANISTAN, Sept 7: An Indian author whose story was told in the movie ‘Escape from Taliban’ was shot dead after returning to Afghanistan to make a documentary about women, police said on Friday. The killing of Sushmita Banerjee, 49, on Wednesday was the latest in a series of attacks on women in the conservative Islamic country, adding to concern that hard-won women’s rights are eroding ahead of next year’s withdrawal of most international forces.
