Kadyrov instructs Ministry to find the girl who disappeared in Dagestan
The head of Chechnya has ordered to look for the eight-year-old girl, who went missing in Dagestan in late July, by involving the Chechnya's representative offices and communities in Russian regions, Zhambulat Umarov, the Minister for National Policy of Chechnya, has stated today.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the eight-year-old girl disappeared in Kaspiysk on July 29, when she went from home to a store. The two-week-long searches were fruitless. An investigator has named abduction as one of the priority versions.
According to Minister Umarov, the Kadyrov's order was "confidential," so that information about searches could not spread in the media and social networks. The Ministry was instructed to organize the search for the girl "through external relations with Chechnya's representative offices and communities, present virtually in all the subjects of the Russian Federation," the "Grozny-Inform" News Agency quotes the Minister as saying today.
On August 16, Umarov published on his page in the Instagram a video appeal about Ramzan Kadyrov's order to search for the girl through the Chechnya's representative offices. He noted that the Ministry staff would coordinate their actions with the girl's parents and appealed to possible abductors of the girl, urging them "to release the small and innocent human being."
