North Caucasian Federal District Main Investigations Directorate has launched a procedural check to study the events that happened in the Chechen Republic in connection with a special operation carried out on 19 April by Stavropol Territory police officers     and a temporary task force of the Ministry of the Interior. A corresponding decision will be made following the check.

I would like to underline that the check will be impartial and in complete compliance with the Russian laws.
