According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the capital, six minors were detained on the night of January 19 on Sadriiddin Ayni Street.
According to law enforcement agencies, based on an operational report received on the night of January 19 of this year, a group of minors armed with sharp objects gathered on S. Ayni Street with the intention of engaging in a conflict.
During a personal search, two knives of various brands were found and seized from the minors.
Administrative cases have been initiated against the parents of all six minors under Article 90 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for improper performance of duties in raising and educating children. According to the legislation, this article provides for a penalty in the form of a fine of 780 somoni or administrative arrest for up to 10 days.
The parents of the detained teenagers did not comment on the incident.
In this regard, the internal affairs authorities urged citizens, especially parents, to strengthen control over their children’s behavior and not to leave them without proper supervision.
It is noted that in recent years, conflicts among minors involving cold weapons have increased, some of which have led to tragic consequences.
In November of last year, in the city of Dushanbe, one minor was killed and another was injured as a result of a mass brawl involving knives. At that time, investigators stated that the conflict arose from an online dispute.
A similar incident recently occurred in the city of Kulyab, where a young Tajik mixed martial arts fighter, Muhammadali Saidulloev, was killed during a group conflict among teenagers, and two other participants were injured.
