There are also reports that the detention occurred in Istanbul (Turkey).
After a search conducted at his home, Anarkulov was sent to the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek City Police Department.
It is worth reminding that in January 2021, Anarkulov, who held the position of head of the information policy department of the President's Office of Kyrgyzstan, was detained by the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) on suspicion of extorting a large bribe. The investigation claimed that he, using his official position, demanded money from a candidate for a high government position in exchange for assistance in the appointment. As a result, he was dismissed from his position, and later he was released from office. However, the circumstances of the criminal case remain unclear to this day.
