On the night of May 1, a video appeared on social networks showing the beating of an elderly woman on Rudaki Avenue in Dushanbe. As a result of an operational investigation, employees of the Shokhmansur District Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs identified the suspects and detained them.
As reported by the Dushanbe Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the detainees were Igor Strashnikov, born in 1996, previously convicted of theft, and Nurova Maisara, born in 1976. Both detainees were intoxicated at the time of the crime and had no permanent place of residence. As it turned out, these individuals often drink alcohol and lead an antisocial lifestyle.


The necessary documents have been drawn up regarding the incident, and legal action will be taken against those detained. Further investigation is currently underway to clarify all the circumstances of the incident.
The case has sparked widespread public outcry and concern among citizens, who are demanding stronger measures to combat crimes related to antisocial behaviour, especially in relation to vulnerable groups.
