The incident gained widespread attention after a video circulated on social media, sparking sharp condemnation from the public. The Tashkent City Department of Internal Affairs promptly reviewed the footage and identified the participants in the incident.

As revealed during the investigation, the incident occurred on April 5 around 23:00. The individuals in the video were two young men aged 27 and 28, who work as security guards at a local market. While driving their vehicles, they hit the animals, which led to the investigation.

Currently, all collected materials have been transferred to the district criminal court. In the near future, the court is expected to review the documents and determine the punishment for the guilty parties in accordance with current legislation.
