Shocking images have surfaced online, showing the alleged torture of a suspect detained in connection with the Crocus City Hall shooting.  Russian Telegram news channels released the disturbing photos on March 24, depicting the man, identified as Tajik migrant Shamsiddin Fariduni, undergoing electric shock torture during interrogation.

In the distressing image, Fariduni is seen lying on the floor, partially disrobed, while an unidentified individual stands over him, a sinister black object nearby. The photo's sensitive areas are obscured.

The image portrays a "standard interrogation" utilizing a TA-57 military field telephone, a device infamously known for administering electric shocks, according to the Grey Zone Telegram channel, It details the harrowing process, where the device, emitting 80 volts, is connected to the victim's ears, genitals, or fingers, intensifying the torture with the application of water.

In a separate but equally horrifying revelation, a video surfaced online earlier showing a suspect from the same incident being mutilated and forced into a gruesome act involving his own severed ear.

Background on the Crocus City Hall incident:

In the aftermath, Russian authorities have apprehended 11 suspects, hinting at a "Ukrainian trace" in the investigation, a narrative supported by the dictator Vladimir Putin and echoed across Russian media outlets. This claim aligns with the suspects' alleged plans to flee towards Ukraine.

Contrastingly, Ukrainian officials, including the Foreign Ministry and the Presidential Office, have firmly refuted these allegations, emphasizing Ukraine's non-involvement.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed the assertions linking Ukraine to the incident, critiquing Putin's delayed response.

Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation proposed an alternative theory, suggesting the event could be a Russian special service operation aimed at framing Ukraine, potentially to justify further mobilization efforts.

Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence indicates the likely involvement of the ISIS terrorist group, a theory supported by ISIS's own indirect admission through published images mirroring those of the suspects identified by the Russian FSB.

The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War also believes that ISIS is most likely involved in the shooting at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow Oblast.
