However, there are also reports indicating his detention in Istanbul (Turkey).
After a search of his home, Nurgazy was placed in the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek City Police Department.
Recall 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 charges of extorting a bribe in a particularly large amount. The investigation claims that he, using his official position, demanded money from a candidate for a high state position, promising assistance in the appointment, after which he was dismissed. He was later released and removed from his position, but the fate of the criminal case remains unclear.
