Ministry of Interior Affairs put him on the wanted list for murder, extortion, hostage-taking, and drug smuggling, an accusation that he denied.

For example, he said in a leaked audio tape last year that the Taliban arrested three of his people on the charge of wearing a pakul hat that is mostly a symbol of Tajiks.

Afghan media also announced last year that the Taliban arrested his brother and four bodyguards on charges of arms smuggling.

[11] In March 2024, during the Afghanistan–Pakistan border skirmishes, Khorasani warned that Pakistan 'shall be eradicated from the face of the planet' if ordered by Hibatullah Akhundzada.

[12] Khorasani released an audiotape to Qari Fasihuddin calling for the trial and punishment of the Taliban members who were responsible for killing demonstrators during the 2024 Badakhshan protest and threatening to leave the group if justice was not delivered.
