Incident Details and Allegations
During a meeting with residents of the Issyk-Kul region, Dastan, a former employee of the Patrol Service (UPSM), appealed to the head of state. The man stated that he faced unfair criminal liability due to the actions of his colleague, Baktiyar Barazykov, during a night raid in Bishkek in June last year.
According to the applicant, while patrolling the intersection of Turusbekov and Frunze streets, they stopped a vehicle without documents. At his partner's request, Dastan took the car to the impound lot; however, while he was away, Baktiyar released the driver, claiming the documents were found in the glove box. Later, instead of an impoundment report, the partner issued a fine to a passenger for a pedestrian crossing violation.
Case Details
Dastan claims that a criminal case was opened against him in October, while his partner remained a witness and continued his service. The ex-inspector suggested that the colleague's connections in the Prosecutor General's Office helped him avoid responsibility, despite the driver confirming in court that Baktiyar was the one who released the car.
Presidential Decision
After hearing the appeal, President Sadyr Japarov ordered the partner to be suspended from duty during the investigation and dismissed if the framing is confirmed. To ensure objectivity, the head of state ordered the case materials to be transferred to the Military Prosecutor's Office to organize an investigation.
The MVD representative has also been instructed to provide a legal assessment of the officer's actions, and the prosecutor's office is to ensure oversight of the judicial proceedings.
