Russian occupant forces put some temporary checkpoints to various parts of the village. Aslanbek Sheripov, a resident of Bashtar village was detained at one of these roadblocks. He was beaten and taken away to an unknown destination.

According to villagers, either this young man nor somebody in his family have never had any relation with Chechen mujahedeens. The villagers said that they don’t know why he was abducted; but some eyewitness said the young hadn’t answered with respect for the question of a bandit of Kadirov regime.
