In Samarkand, a video depicting a confrontation between a citizen and an employee of the Internal Affairs Agency circulated on social networks. Jahangir Sadullayev, the head of the Information Service of the Internal Affairs Department, responded to the situation.

According to him, on November 20 of this year at 19:30, a citizen, M.R., residing in the "Bunyod" neighborhood of Samarkand city, called the "102" operator to report a fight in an apartment and requested the dispatch of a prevention inspector.

"Therefore, the prevention inspector from Internal Affairs Department No. 6 of the Samarkand City Coordination Department of Internal Affairs went to the citizen's residence. M.R., who had been previously convicted, along with his sister, husband, and brother, witnessed the quarrel and intervened in an attempt to stop it.
The citizens actively resisted the prevention inspector, hitting him in various places and causing physical injuries. They even broke the front window of the vehicle belonging to the Internal Affairs employee, resulting in material damage," the statement said.

One of the individuals involved was shot and detained in accordance with legal procedures.
