Rufat Mailov, a religious believer who has lived in Russia for a long time, came to his hometown of Ganja to visit his parents. However, the very next day of his arrival, while visiting the market with his wife and son, police officers attacked him and began brutally beating him in front of his family. According to his wife, Natalya Azmanova, a Russian citizen, she initially thought the attackers were robbers, as they were wearing civilian clothes and did not identify themselves. When she began screaming and calling for help, it turned out to be the Ganja police, led by Deputy Chief of Police Shahin Musayev. It was he who had beaten her husband most severely. Moreover, when Natalya Azmanova began screaming, Shahin Musayev attacked her and began beating her and her 17-year-old son. With great difficulty she managed to rescue her son, but the police dragged her husband to the station.
