Kun.uz correspondent conducted a journalistic inquiry after listening to Boliyev’s relatives and parties related to the incident in order to find out how the suspicious death happened in Samarkand.

Boliyev lived in his father’s house in Akdarya district. On October 25, 2022, he was sentenced administratively to 15-day imprisonment for not paying his children’s alimony on time. Relatives of the deceased say that Rashid sometimes used to spend the night at the car wash where he worked. He was last seen on October 20.

The deceased’s father, Nor Boliyev, is unhappy that he found out about his son after so many actions, more precisely, after his death.

“Why didn’t the BCE officers inform when the 15-day administrative prison sentence was imposed on my son? We would do our best to pay off that debt. Or why didn’t the internal affairs officers tell us when my son had a mental change? Why didn’t the hospital inform us on time about my son’s death? My child had no chronic illness or mental disorder. I don’t believe it. If so, we should have known about it for years,” Rashid’s father said. 

According to Jamshid Boliyev, he was initially informed by the mahalla chairman that his brother was in the regional psychiatric hospital. By the time he reached the hospital, he was told that his brother had already died.

“When I asked the cause of his death at the hospital, they said that he was brought there in a critical condition. When the doctors talked to my brother, he said that he was beaten by the internal affairs officers. My brother was a healthy young man, I cannot believe that he died of his own death,” Jamshid Boliyev said. 

After his death, injury marks were found in several places. In the photos presented to us, we can see bruises on his face, ears, nose, and legs.

Asror Roziyev, an employee of the Akdarya District BCE, who dealt with the issue of alimony collection, also says that Rashid did not have any mental problems. Usually, before the case is presented to the court, information about the citizen is taken into account through a special system.
