Former patrol police officer Dastan reported that he fell victim to the actions of his partner, Baktiyar. According to the inspector, while patrolling in Bishkek, his colleague released a driver, yet the criminal prosecution ultimately targeted Dastan.
Essence of the allegations and the President's decision
Dastan claims that his partner Baktiyar was assisted by an influential relative from the Prosecutor General's Office. During the court proceedings, the driver confirmed that Baktiyar was the one who decided to release the vehicle. Due to the situation, Dastan spent three months in custody.
Responding to the incident, Sadyr Japarov demanded that Baktiyar be suspended from duty. The President emphasized that if the officer's guilt is proven, he must be dismissed, regardless of any possible family ties to high-ranking officials.
