The case of Saidmumin Islomov, an investigator with the Interior Ministry’s office in Kulob, who fatally ran over the 15-year-old Firdavs Halimov in Kulob, has been remitted for re-examination.

Firdav’s relatives say they have been summoned for repeated questioning to the Khatlon regional prosecutor’s office in Bokhtar (formerly Qurghon Teppa).   

As it had been reported earlier, the tragedy took place near the Kulob-Vose terminal on February 13 at around 11:00 pm.  A car driven by Saidmumin Islomov, an investigator with the Interior Ministry’s office in Kulob, fatally knocked down the 15-year-old Firdavs Halimov.

The teen’s relatives say the CCTV footages of the accident have strangely disappeared.  According to them, Islomov was drunk.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the accident has been classified as secret and Saidmumin Islomov was acquitted.

Rahmonali Imomzoda, the chief prosecutor in the city of Kulob, told reporters on July 20 that findings of two vehicular accident reconstructions and the republic commission showed that Islomov had not been able to prevent the accident.  At the same time he noted Saidmumin Islomov had been fired.  .
