Taliban militants in Afghanistan have shot dead a policewoman in a provincial city, relatives have told the BBC.
The woman, named in local media as Banu Negar, was killed at the family home in front of relatives in Firozkoh, the capital of central Ghor province.
The killing comes amid increasing reports of escalating repression of women in Afghanistan.
The BBC has asked Taliban authorities for comment. The local Taliban promised to investigate, the family says.
