Till present, a complaint filed to the police in connection with the disappearance in Grozny of three residents of Derbent has not brought any results, relatives of the disappeared men report. On February 23, a mother of Nillan Aliev held a solo picket at which she asked Ramzan Kadyrov to help in the search for her son.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 9, 30-year-old Nillan Aliev, 35-year-old Seidaidin Mustafaev, and 62-year-old Khakim Askerov left Derbent to have a rest in Grozny. On the other day, they stopped contacting their relatives and friends. The Dagestani police reported that all three disappeared men were wanted as missing. Insults voiced by Seidaidin Mustafaev against Ramzan Kadyrov could cause trouble for them man and his companions, analysts suggested.

With reference to the relatives of the disappeared men, the "Baza" Telegram channel reported that one of the Derbent residents who did not return from Grozny criticized the authorities of Chechnya, and shortly before their disappearance, the Derbent residents posted a video on social networks with them smoking in front of the "Heart of Chechnya" Mosque.

On February 23, Nargiz Kazimova, Nillan Aliev's mother, held a picket with a poster in front of the Derbent administration building.

A day earlier, according to the woman, law enforcers from Derbent informed her that they did not find disappeared residents of Derbent in the Chechen capital.

Nargiz Kazimova learned about the fact that her son was being kept by law enforcers in Grozny from a phone conversation with a person who refused to introduce himself. After that, the stranger never contacted the woman again.
