A major scandal has erupted at the Almazar District Department of Internal Affairs (ROVD) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, concerning the management's methods of dealing with subordinates. The incident came to light after the publication of an audio recording in which department official Abror Khudoyberdiev harshly demands that prevention inspectors meet targets for identifying individuals without a fixed place of residence. In the recording, he reprimands officers for "zero indicators" and insists on immediate action to fulfill quotas.
Materials obtained by the media reveal that the official instructed employees that if they could not find actual homeless individuals, they should file administrative reports against their relatives or even "register themselves as homeless." These directives were linked to a requirement to achieve a planned target of 300 registered cases by 10:00 PM on the same day, sparking widespread public outrage and criticism over the unethical and potentially illegal practices employed to meet statistical goals.
The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan promptly responded to the publication of the compromising materials. The ministry announced that an official investigation has been launched into the matter, with a legal assessment pending for the actions of the manager who allegedly encouraged falsification of reports and violations of legality in operational activities. This process may uncover significant deficiencies in the application of regulatory frameworks and human rights protections within state agencies.
This incident raises serious questions about the operational practices of internal affairs bodies in Uzbekistan and the pressure exerted by leadership on personnel. The public and media continue to monitor developments closely, as the outcomes could have important implications for the effectiveness and transparency of the legal system in the country, highlighting ongoing challenges in governance and accountability.
