During the investigation, it was revealed that from 2021 to 2022, several citizens of Kyrgyzstan residing in the Osh and Jalal-Abad regions — N.D.T., M.N.U., K.H.S., H.D.G., as well as citizens of Uzbekistan — M.F.J., S.K.K., S.M.A., K.M.Z., A.T.H., and minors U.K., A.U., F.U., H.K. formed a criminal community of an extremist and terrorist nature.
According to the collected materials, during the specified period, these individuals secretly gathered in the mountains, specifically at the height of the village of Sahaba in the Nookat district and in the Arslanbapa mountains in the Bazar-Korgon district and the city of Tash-Kumyr. During these meetings, they used a black flag symbolizing the extremist organization and were dressed in military uniforms, bulletproof vests, and masks, as well as conducted tactical training sessions with firearms that were brought in from the city of Osh (AK-74, AKS-74, AKS-74U, SVD, and RPK-74).
Furthermore, the group proclaimed the establishment of a branch of the terrorist organization called "Vilayat Turkestan" and pledged allegiance to the orders coming from the so-called Amir F.A. It was established that combat training was also conducted in residential premises, in the mountains, and in Bishkek under the pretext of organizing airsoft games. The lead trainer was D.U., who had special training in Syria and was appointed as the combat commander of the group.
The investigation established that the organized criminal group planned to carry out terrorist acts and sought to create an "Islamic State" on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, which led to a series of serious crimes, including:

- In November 2023, large quantities of firearms, ammunition, explosives, and extremist materials were seized at various addresses in Osh.
According to the verdict of the Osh City Court dated September 27, 2024:
