Today, by the decision of Hrach Ghazaryan, head of the Malatia investigation department of the Yerevan investigative office of the Armenian Investigative Committee, a investigative group was formed. Senior investigators Hakob Shahbandaryan and Eduard Tsarukyan submitted a petition to the Yerevan General Jurisdiction Court, requesting the court to impose a two-month detention on 46-year-old Yegishe G., a resident of Yerevan.

According to Shamshyan.com, Judge Robert Papoyan held a closed court session and, upon returning from the advisory room, granted the investigators' request. Yegishe G., against whom a criminal case has been opened under Article 104, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, was transferred from the court to the penitentiary institution of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia.
