According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan, on May 31, 2022, at 09:30, as a result of conducting an anti-terrorist operation in the highlands of the village of Derzud in the Rushan district, members of an organized criminal and terrorist group were neutralized.

Law enforcement agencies killed Gulomkhaydarov Yodgor Mamadbekovich, born in 1974, a resident of the village of Derzud, Pochoyev Alisher Safarmamadovich, born in 1976, a resident of the village of Vamar, Mavlododov Khabib Fetkaevich, born in 1987, a resident of the village of Derzud, Shekhburov Jangibek Dushanbieviich, born in 1992, a resident of the village of Vamar, and Palaev Dokhunda Khudobandaevich, born in 1969, a resident of the village of Vamar, who had been officially wanted since May 18 of this year.

It is not exactly known how these residents of the Rushan district were killed; however, according to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they were neutralized “as a result of conducting an anti-terrorist operation in the highlands of the village of Derzud in the Rushan district, due to armed resistance.”

It is reported that during the inspection of the crime scene, located at an altitude of 2800 meters above sea level and 1 km from the state border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, the following was discovered and seized: 1 sniper rifle with 200 cartridges, 1 Kalashnikov machine gun with 150 cartridges, 1 anti-tank grenade launcher with 3 shells, 4 Kalashnikov assault rifles with 5 magazines and 135 cartridges, 5 hand grenades, and 2 Makarov pistols with 50 cartridges.

Earlier, on the evening of May 30, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported on its website that 10 residents of the Rushan district were wanted in connection with recent protests in the Rushan district. Already this morning, some of them were killed during the so-called “anti-terrorist operation.”

Currently, Azda TV cannot verify the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ information about the killings in GBAO. Ministry of Internal Affairs employees have previously committed crimes, including the murder of former Interior Minister General Makhmadnazar Salikhov. At that time, they lied to the public, claiming that he had allegedly committed suicide.
