The son of a deputy from the Kumtorkalinsky district caused a drunken disturbance in a liquor store. The incident was criticized by the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, who reported that the boy's father had submitted a resignation letter.

In the Kumtorkalinsky district of Dagestan, the son of a local deputy, Daniyal Absalamov, caused a drunken disturbance in a liquor store.

The incident occurred on the night of December 26-27. A group of young men kicked the store's windows, threw stones, smashed bottles, and attacked a saleswoman. According to preliminary reports, the incident was caused by the deputy's son being denied a loan. Those involved in the pogrom have been detained, Gazeta.ru reports today.

Dagestan Governor Sergei Melikov commented on the incident. He stated, "Such things don't happen often in Dagestan, a republic with traditional values and proper notions of how a man should behave." He called it even more egregious that the person involved in the incident was "the son of a people's representative."

Melikov stated that he adheres to the principle that a father is responsible for raising children, and therefore, "there is no place for such people in power." "Now the former official has submitted a letter of resignation. There could be no other decision," the head of the republic noted.

He added that this incident should serve as a lesson for everyone, both young people and their parents.

A criminal case has been opened in connection with the incident, the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee reported, according to Interfax.

Earlier, "Caucasian Knot" reported that at the end of November, Izi Aliyev, a member of the republican parliament, was detained in Dagestan on suspicion of embezzlement.
