Two more police officers have been arrested in Dagestan on charges of torture that led to the death of a man

The Supreme Court of Dagestan ordered the arrest of two more police officers suspected of torturing and killing a local resident at the police station. A criminal case has been filed against them for abuse of power. In total, seven security officials are under investigation.

In January, it became known that 35-year-old Kurban Dalgatov died of strangulation in the police station in the Sovetsky district of Makhachkala. Doctors recorded his injuries.

According to investigators, the police detained Dalgatov because they believed that he had helped an acquaintance escape, who was suspected of shooting at a person. Having taken the man to the police department, the security forces, out of a “desire to show the effectiveness of their work,” began to demand that he indicate the whereabouts of an acquaintance. As a result of torture, the detainee died.
