The Taliban on Friday claimed that it had kidnapped an Indian engineer in Baghlan province of northern Afghanistan.
A local Taliban commander Bahlol said Taliban fighters abducted the Indian engineer, who was working at a local power project, on Thursday in Puli Khumri, the provincial capital.
The engineer has been brought to the central Ghazni province, where 23 South Koreans were abducted on July 19, he added.
However, police chief in Baghlan and officials in Ghazni said they did not hear the alleged abduction.
Taliban militants have carried out kidnappings in this country over the past two years frequently, and some hostages were killed by the Taliban.
