Disappearance of imam Zaripov: hunts led nowhere
All groups searching for Hazrat Gusman’s disappeared relative finished their work except the Kazan group
About two months passed since the disappearance of the ex-deputy mufti of Tatarstan Suleyman Zaripov and his fellow-traveller Sheikh Nadzhmeddin. However, as Realnoe Vremya has been informed by the relatives of the lost imam, they did not manage to find any information about the course of the hunt. Meanwhile, the groups in Buinsk and Saransk, which opened during active hunts, closed. The only active group – in Kazan – cannot find tasks for the volunteers who are still interested in Suleyman Zaripov's fate despite the time passed.
'There was a stagnation in hunts'
About two months passed since the disappearance of the ex-deputy mufti of Tatarstan Suleyman Zaripov and his fellow-traveller Sheikh Nadzhmeddin. However, as the relatives of the lost imam inform, they did not manage to find any information about the course of the hunt. Meanwhile, the groups in Buinsk and Saransk, which opened during active hunts, closed. The only active group is in Kazan, and it cannot find tasks for the volunteers who are still interested in Suleyman Zaripov's fate despite the time passed.
The son-in-law of the imam Gumar Ganiev notes that despite a possibility of asking for the necessary information that siloviks has, the relatives of Zaripov still don't have any new information about the course of the searches. Imam-muhtasib of Kazan Hazrat Mansur Dzhalyaletdin also shares Ganiev's dissatisfaction.

'Siloviks don't say anything, I don't rely on them. We wrote them, they said that the investigation was in the process, all materials were examined, the work was done. This is why they cannot say anything,' Hazrat Mansur told.
Suleyman Zaripov's son-in-law admitted in a talk to Realnoe Vremya that there is a stagnation in the hunts. And all group stopped working except the Kazan group.
'It cannot be said that the Kazan group closed. It exists but now the volunteers don't have any work. If we close the group, it will seem that we forgot everything and gave it up, you know,' the imam-muhtasib of Kazan notes.
'People enquire whether they should look for them because the snow melted'
Despite this fact, the number of not indifferent people did not shrink. They visit us in Kazan, call and ask if we need help as they did.
'People enquire whether they should look for them because the snow melted. But there is not any work for them for now. Local police officers and the police are there, they monitor and check everything,' Hazrat Mansur told. Sundry psychics call us, or old women can see something in a dream and describe it all… But should we pay attention to everybody?'
'The Chief Mufti of Russia gave us the answer'
It should be reminded that at the beginning of March, the family of the lost imam Suleyman Zaripov and representatives of the Muslim Spirituality Directorate of Tatarstan sent a letter to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Chief Mufti of Russia Talgat Tadzhuddin and the chairman of the Muslim Spirituality Directorate of the Russian Federation Ravil Gainutdinov asking for help in the hunts for the imam.
'The letters reached their addressees. But the Chief Mufti of Russia gave us the answer,' Gumar Ganiev informs. 'All people express their alarm, take different measures and ask law enforcement agencies for help. The Russian President's answer has not been received yet, but the letter reached its destination.'
We should say that Suleyman Zaripov's family was against the publication of the text sent by them to the mass media. As the son-in-law of the lost imam informs, the gist of the messages was a favour 'to control the hunts for the husband personally'.
