Shortly prior to the discovery of the burned car, the relative of Temirlan Batyrov claimed his disappearance. "On June 29, my brother Temirlan Batyrov, born in 1979, a resident of the village of Leninkent of Dagestan, did not returned home. He worked as a taxi driver; on June 29, at 8:00 p.m., my brother called his wife and said that he would come home soon, and since that time, we have no information about him. On June 30, the relatives visited all the district police stations; however, they did not succeed in getting any information," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told by Zukhra Aminarslanova on July 1.

According to the woman, on July 1, the relatives concluded an agreement with a lawyer and appealed to human rights organizations. "We do not know where Temirlan is and what has happened to him. My brother was not involved in anything criminal, he worked as a taxi driver and thus supported his family," the woman has emphasized.
