The 27-year-old resident of the Baljuvon district in Khatlon province, Navrouz Karimov, who was severely beaten by guards of the Moskva (Moscow) Trade Center in Moscow on Wednesday, has died in hospital, a source at the Tajik Interior Ministry told Asia-Plus in an interview.
According to him, Tajik migrant was beaten because he had carried goods from one place to another without permission of the guards.
“One of the guards has been taken into custody and criminal proceedings will be instituted over this case in the near future,” the source added.
Meanwhile, the Tajik Embassy in Moscow has neither denied nor confirmed this information.
Sarvar Bakhti, a spokesman for the Tajik Embassy in Moscow, says they are currently checking that information.
Earlier it had been reported that guards of the trade center located in Moscow’s Lyublino district yesterday afternoon severely beat Tajik national. He was hospitalized and doctors diagnosed him with brain concussion.
