Bulat Medjidov, a former operative agent of the police division in Makhachkala, has been arrested until August 21 within the case of abuse of power with the use of torture.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on July 3, it became known that another law enforcer had been detained in connection with the death of Kurban Dalgatov after his detention.
