Popular Tajik Singer Bahrom Ghafuri Killed In Traffic Accident

DUSHANBE — Hundreds of fans have come to bid farewell to one of Tajikistan’s most popular singers, Bahrom Ghafuri, who was killed in a traffic accident early on August 7.

In accordance with Islamic traditions, Ghafuri was buried before dawn on the same day in a Dushanbe cemetery.

Interior Ministry said that Ghafuri and another person were passengers in a Land Cruiser car that collided with a truck in Dushanbe at around 4 am.
