Additional information:

Tilek Dzhumataev, the employee of Next TV (Archa Media), has been summoned for questioning to the Alamüdün District Police Department of the Chüy Region. This was reported by the general producer Dmitry Lozhnikov. According to him, investigator Shaymerdenov is waiting for him as a witness. The reason for the summons is unknown. «According to our speculation, it may be due to publications in messenger and public groups where the increase in fines was discussed», — Lozhnikov said. He added that on Wednesday, March 1, Tilek found out that surveillance was organized near his home. Unknown people questioned his relatives about how to find him. The strangers did not introduce themselves in any way. The surveillance continued on the morning of March 2. Tilek’s relatives managed to get an answer — the man who was guarding him identified himself as an officer of the Alamüdün District Police Department.
