In Bukhara, a lawyer from the Tax Department injured employees of the Road Patrol Service

A video showing an altercation between road patrol officers and a citizen in Olot district of Bukhara region was circulated on social networks.  The regional Department of Internal Affairs provided information on the situation.

On 22nd April this year, a citizen contacted the centralized system of the Department of Internal Affairs of the N.O region and stated that there had been a disagreement between him and some employees from the Internal Affairs office.

The report was appropriately registered with the Department of Internal Affairs of the Olot district and studied by the responsible branch services.

It was discovered that on 22nd of April at 4:00 p.m., two inspectors of the Road Patrol Service, Senior Sergeant J.S. and Chief K.B., accidentally crashed into a stationary concrete barrier.  Some employees from the aforementioned Road Patrol Service heard of the damage to the concrete barrier and immediately arrived at the scene in order to formalize the situation.

Subsequently, N.O, an administrative practice lawyer of the Karakol District Department of the State Tax Administration, who was born in 1993, and was not involved in the situation at all, arrived at the scene of the incident.  He proceeded to actively prevent the investigation into the accident, with no provocation, by insulting the Road Patrol service staff, using inappropriate language and inflicting physical injury.  As a result of this incident, senior sergeant S.J suffered from swelling to various parts of his body including his hands and neck.  They were determined to be non-life threatening injuries.
Currently, the Olot district prosecutor’s office has opened a criminal case under Article 219 of the Criminal Code, and a preliminary investigation is being carried out with the accused, N.O., being detained under house arrest.  

“At the end of the investigation, a legal assessment will be made of the accused’s actions,” the report says.
