He was illegally detained in front of the Akimat, using brute force and even handcuffed. He was then brutally beaten in the #Iliya assembly hall with batons.

The beating went on for a long time, hitting on the head and torturing with a stun gun. Next, Serik lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he asked for water, but instead of water the police beat him a couple more times.

The investigator was a young woman (whose name he could not remember in a state of shock) who could not remove the handcuffs from Serik's swollen hands and they asked the guard for help to remove them.

Instead, he started beating Serik's hands some more and only then did he remove the handcuffs.
