This incident is linked to the arrest of Hasan Kasymbaev, who is believed to be the leader of the criminal group "Khutorskie".
The incident occurred on June 17, 2021: Alimov was brutally beaten near a store and then transported unconscious to the vicinity of the Kendala settlement, where he was subjected to further beating. He was hospitalized in serious condition at the Talgar Central District Hospital, from where his relatives transferred him to a clinic in Almaty, fearing pressure on the victim.
On November 4, 2024, the police of the Almaty region reported the arrest of five suspects, who have already been convicted and are serving their sentences. Hasan Kasymbaev, suspected of complicity in causing serious bodily harm and kidnapping, has also been arrested and placed in a temporary detention facility.
