ArmInfo.Brother of former MP of the Armenian parliament Melik Manukyan Robert Manukyan born in 1976 has been arrested for resisting a government official. It should be noted that Manukyan was driving a Range Rover car, on which an attempt of explosion was made on the Yerevan-Sevan highway on August 2. When clarifying the circumstances of the incident, Manukyan suddenly interrupted the conversation with the police, got behind the wheel of a car and, breaking through the cordon, drove away in an unknown direction.
He was subsequently detained. During the detention, as the police themselves admitted, force was used against him, since Manukyan resisted. Manukyan, in turn, filed a lawsuit against the police officers, accusing them of using violence in his respect.
It should be noted that in this case three more people have been arrested, directly accused of organizing an explosion on the Sevan-Yerevan highway.
Recall that, according to the Police, the explosive device was controlled from a restaurant located close to the highway. Attackers were not able to bring the crime to an end for reasons beyond their control. There are no casualties as a result of the incident.
