I've found one publication with mention of peripatetic 'Jats' in Afghanistan,[1] but that's it. That said, another publication mentions:
Jats are considered a pariah group in Afghanistan, and the term jat is applied to a number of subgroups which are not necessarily related. They are itinerant peddlers, entertainers, and artisans, usually found near towns, cities...[2]
Yet another source mentions In Afghanistan the Jat is known by the name of Gujar, which is a Hindi term expressive of his calling as a rearer ...[3]
So overall, I'm not convinced "peripatetic Jats" is a recognised "ethnic group", and the article seems to give a rather slanted description of "Jats" in Afghanistan overall. Regarding the second quote, we might already be covering that under Jot (ethnic group), so that just leaves the question as to whether the history of actual Jat/Gujjars in Afghanistan is better covered at Gujjar#Afghanistan or some similar article.
