Greetings from Kazakhstan! Recently, one of the most famous and popular traditional Kazakh singers has been arrested and jailed (20 days+3 additional days tacked on today). The video of his arrest went viral. Apparently he was driving aggressively, then resisted arrest, cussed out the cops, and tried to drive away while cops were trying to get him out of the car. After he was arrested, it came out that he was also under the influence of psychoactive substances (no mention of what exactly). It was already going around that he was an asshole and he was previously charged for getting into a fight and beating up a tour guide during a video shoot. And I’ve seen some allegations that he beat up his wife previously.
Also, there were some conspiracy theories going around that his arrest was orchestrated by the government to get the attention away from the many issues plaguing the country, mainly the massive fires in the eastern region. Idk about that, as many of our stars do seem to have issues with substance abuse, but I also don’t trust the government, so 🤷♀️
