43-year-old Akhmed Akhmedov, well-known in Dagestan as a specialist in Islamic medicine as "Doctor Akhmad", stopped contacting his relatives and friends in the afternoon on September 24.

Last time, relatives saw Akhmed Akhmedov in Makhachkala at 1:30 p.m. Moscow time on September 24. He stopped contacting his relatives and friends at 3:30 p.m. Moscow time, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told by a friend of Akhmed Akhmedov. According to the source, when he tries to make calls, he gets messages stating the subscriber's phone is switched off, although Akhmed Akhmedov did not have a habit of switching off his mobile phone because of frequent calls from his customers.

The wife of Akhmed Akhmedov believes her husband could fell victim to law enforcers' provocations, since he was a follower of the Salafi trend of Islam.

According to the Dagestani edition "Novoe Delo", because of the long absence of information about the Akhmed Akhmedov's whereabouts, his advocate Israfil Gadadov filed complaints to the law enforcement agencies.
