What is happening in Vahdat?

Authorities have neither confirmed nor denied rumors about the appearance of a djinn in the village of Khojaboykul in the city of Vahdat.

According to Tajik media, residents of the village of Khojaboykul in the city of Vahdat have been agitated for three days by the appearance of a djinn. Residents have been sleepless at night and organized night watch posts to catch the djinn.

In recent days, several videos have been published on social media showing residents of this village expressing their concerns about the local population.

According to rumors among residents, the djinn is disturbing their lives, including setting fire to agricultural lands. No official comments from the authorities have been received so far.

Additionally, in recent days, a video has gone viral showing residents detaining a person who allegedly frightened the residents of the city of Vahdat.

The video shows several residents detaining and putting a Black man into a car and taking him away.

So far, no law enforcement agencies have reported the detention of the Black man. It is also unclear whether this detention is related to the rumors about the appearance of the djinn in the city of Vahdat.

This is not the first instance of such rumors spreading among the population, causing panic among residents.

Previously, rumors about the appearance of suspicious people in black spread in Kanibadam. Residents feared that unknown individuals in masks and hoods were trying to break into their homes. They were afraid to sleep at night and went to bed with makeshift weapons – pitchforks, axes, knives – to protect themselves and their loved ones.

However, on July 31, the head of the city of Kanibadam, Abdusalom Tukhtasunzoda, dismissed rumors about serial killers.
