New Delhi, Aug 21 (TIWN) The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee has denied that Sikhs living in Afghanistan have been kidnapped by the Taliban even as the security situation in the war-torn country has further deteriorated.

His statement comes just hours after reports emerged saying that some Afghan Sikhs and Hindus were today stopped from boarding an Indian Air Force (IAF) plane. They had been waiting outside the airport since Friday. However, they were sent back from the Kabul airport.
