"At this date, we only know that the kidnappers were in masks and camouflage and moved in a white "Gazel" minivan. Who and for what purpose had needed to kidnap him, we don't know, the fellow worked at the construction materials shop and was engaged in nothing illegal," Gazdiev's relatives say.

Several local residents were eyewitnesses of the incident, and they told that Gazdiev's car was stopped by unknown persons not far from the building of the city's administration. According to their version, the young man was dragged out of the car, beaten, thrown into the white "Gazel" minivan and taken in unknown direction.
