According to Radio Ozodi, the first deputy prosecutor of the Sino district in Dushanbe, Sukhrab Salimzoda, who signed the decree on the amnesty of the suspect in the “Madina case,” has been dismissed from his position. On Friday, Sukhrab Salimzoda worked his last day and is no longer an employee of the prosecutor’s office.

It is reported that this is already the second high-ranking official removed from their position following the “Madina case.”

Earlier, on November 2, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Sino-2 district, Zafar Ismoilzoda, was also dismissed.

Radio Ozodi, citing its informed sources, reported that the reason for the dismissal of Salimzoda and Ismoilzoda was the “unjust investigation of the case of Madina Mamadjonova.”

Sukhrab Salimzoda is the brother of Sherkhon Salimzoda, the former Attorney General of Tajikistan.

Recall that Madina Mahmadjonova went missing on August 25 of this year and was taken to the hospital 14 hours later in critical condition with severe injuries. The suspect in the case was Aziza Davlatova, who is the legal wife of the man Madina was dating. Doctors assessed Madina’s health condition as “critical,” and there is a possibility that the victim may remain bedridden and unable to communicate or move. She has still not regained consciousness.

Despite this, on September 7, the law enforcement agencies of the Sino district closed the investigation into Aziza Davlatova according to the law “On Amnesty.” Social media activists appealed to the mayor of Dushanbe, Rustam Emomali, asking him to take the “Madina case” under his personal control and hold those responsible accountable. By his order, the investigation into the incident was resumed by the General Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
