Two Uzbek citizens arrested in Istanbul on suspicion of attempted murder of an Afghan man

In Istanbul, two citizens of Uzbekistan have been taken into custody on suspicion of attempted murder of a 21-year-old Afghan man. The victim claims that the men beat him and threw him out of a third-floor window. The suspects, in turn, deny the allegations and claim that the young man jumped out himself.

According to the Turkish newspaper Sabah, the incident occurred on September 26 in the Tuzla district. After falling from the third floor, the young man was hospitalized. During interrogation, he told police officers that he had been attacked by neighbors who live on the floor above.

During the investigation launched by the prosecutor's office of the Asian side of Istanbul, law enforcement officers detained two Uzbek citizens.

The first suspect told investigators that he had previously worked with the victim. According to him, on the day of the incident, he suddenly found the young man in his apartment. A fight broke out between them, after which the Uzbek citizen went out the door and began calling for help.

The man claims that the Afghan man then went into another room, from where he jumped out of the window. The second detainee also denied the allegations. According to his version, he went up to the apartment after hearing the noise of a fight, attempted to break up the participants in the conflict, and a few minutes later learned about the young man's fall.

After interrogations, the prosecutor's office submitted the case materials to court, requesting that both Uzbek citizens be placed in custody on suspicion of attempted intentional murder. The court granted the motion. The investigation is ongoing.
