In Kyrgyzstan, the former head of the temporary detention facility of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Issyk-Kul region, police major T.K.A., has been detained, as reported by the State Committee for National Security (SCNS).

According to the SCNS, the ex-police officer was involved in a scheme to extort money from a citizen, M.K. He threatened the detainee, using his official position, and demanded money, promising to create "comfortable conditions" in the detention facility.

In case of refusal to comply with the demands, the SCNS reports that unacceptable methods of influence were applied to the detainee. Later, T.K.A. voluntarily resigned from the internal affairs bodies.

Currently, the investigation is considering the possibility of involvement of other officials from the Issyk-Kul Internal Affairs Directorate in this situation.
