As reported by the human rights activist Ogtay Gulaliyev, the case was initiated after the blogger"s death in Baku Detention Center No. 1 on April 28, 2018 by the Sabunchu district prosecutor's office under Article 125 (bringing to suicide). Subsequently, the case was transferred to the Baku City Prosecutor's Office.
As a result of the preliminary investigation, the prosecutor's office considered that there was no crime in Galandarov's death, and he committed suicide.
