Local sources have reported that on April 26 four male civilians were abducted by gang members from the puppet regime in the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

According to the information, a group of armed Kadyrovites organized a punishment operation in the Zavodsky district of the capital, Grozny. During the operation, three male civilians were abducted. Two of them, born in 1981 and 1987 are local residents, while the other one, born in 1980 is from another district of Grozny. The hostages were accused of providing aid for a group of Chechen mujahedeen since March of 2011.

Another punishment operation was conducted in the Shatoy district by armed Kadyrovites. As a result, a 37-year old male resident was abducted from his home. The hostage was accused of being a former supporter of the Chechen mujahedeen. The puppet authorities claimed that their hostage provided food in 2003.

The fates and whereabouts of hostages are unknown.
