According to investigator Khalil Khalilov, investigators acted under the law.

"The man was just kept without explanations from 7:00 a.m. until late night. Besides, my client claims that the weapons rounds and a grenade were planted to him. When he was brought to the police department, he was beaten there. They demanded from him to admit that all the weapons belonged to him," says Magomedov.
