His relatives publicly announced the disappearance on Saturday, 23 Jawza. They expressed extreme concern and are actively searching for him. The family has appealed to the public for any information and asked that the case be shared on Facebook. They have also requested assistance from Taliban security institutions.
The case occurs amid numerous recent reports of disappearances and kidnappings in various parts of Afghanistan. The Taliban have claimed to have secured the country.

Reliability assessment
Single source provides direct, on-record attribution with concrete, checkable details including the named individual (Mohammad Ajmal Saidi), his father's name, specific residence in Panjshir, timeline (eight days as of 23 Jawza), and relatives' public statements.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hasht-e Subh: "Increasing Insecurity" frames the incident as part of a broader negative trend; "insecurity" and the contrast with the Taliban's security claims introduce mild advocacy and opinion by implying the regime is failing.
