The head of the Sughd directorate for youth and sports’ affairs, Olim Zohidzoda, has been relieved of his duties, an official source at the Sughd department for youth and sports’ affairs told Asia-Plus in an interview.

According to him, Olim Zohidzoda was relieved of his post of head of the Sughd directorate for youth and sports’ affairs on February 7.  “The cause of dismissing Zohidzoda is still unknown,” the source added.

Recall, stand-up comedian Khairullo Mirsaidov, who is leader of the Khujand KVN team, publicly stated in November last year that Olim Zohidzoda demanded a US$1,000 bribe. 

Mirsaidov failed to produce evidence to support his application against Zohidzoda.  Zohidzoda has filed a counterclaim against Mirsaidov accusing him of defamation.
