At dawn, Russian units blocked the 2nd, 3rd and 4th districts of Grozny and detained local residents for several hours. In total, according to eyewitnesses, more than 150 people of different ages - from minors to pensioners - were captured.
                                                       
They were taken to the territory of PAP-1, where the 22nd ObrON VV of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation was stationed, and placed in pits. Periodically pulling them upstairs, almost everyone was interrogated. Many were tortured. As a result, one of the detainees died. Apparently, this circumstance served as the main reason why the military began to release people already on this day.

Around 6 a.m., the village of Shaami-Yurt in the Achkhoi-Martan district came under artillery fire from a Russian military unit stationed on the Sunzhensky ridge.
 
Eight shells exploded on the territory of the settlement, as a result of which local residents were injured, and their houses received significant damage. Shirvana Eskerkhanov's household suffered the most. 78-year-old Shepa Yusupov died. He was mortally wounded by fragments of a projectile while performing the morning prayer.

On the same day, the villagers, outraged by the shelling, gathered for a spontaneous meeting. They demanded that the military and civilian authorities of the republic punish the organizers of this crime.

It is known that the prosecutor's office initiated a criminal case on the fact of the shelling. However, the residents of Shaami-Yurt still had no hopes for an objective investigation. Even before the beginning of the investigation, the prosecutor of the occupying authorities of Chechnya, Viktor Dakhnov, trying to fence off the military, announced in the mass media that "a series of planted explosive devices went off" in the village.

At 11 o'clock, 29-year-old Islam Vataev, a resident of the Leninsky district of Grozny, went to help his elderly father, who was mowing grass on a vacant lot near his house. He was spotted at the Russian military checkpoint at the intersection of B. Khmelnytskyi and Moskovskaya streets. Seven or eight Russian servicemen immediately headed towards the young man.

His father also rushed to him, shouting for his son to return home immediately. But it was too late. He caught up with Islam Vataev at his home and without saying anything, the military personnel shot him at close range. The first shot was fired in the head. When the young man fell, he was shot several more times. On the same day, the relatives took the murdered man to Shalinsk district and buried him in the cemetery of the village of Novye Ataga.

Aslambek Akhmadov, born in 1964, who lived in the city at 38 K. Marksa St., was discovered by a neighbor at Hospital No. 9 in Grozny. According to doctors, his kidneys were damaged, and fluid accumulated in his lungs. In addition, there were traces of prolonged and severe beatings on the body. He did not remember how he got to the hospital, but he said that in the second half of January he was abducted and put in a pit by the military. Periodically, they lifted him upstairs and, pulling a bag over his head, beat him. All this continued for almost six months, but during this time he did not manage to determine in which exact place he was kept. According to the doctors, he was admitted to the hospital in early June. Aslambek Akhmadov's whereabouts were reported to his relatives on the same day. They transported him to Ingushetia and settled him in the Chechen refugee camp "Sputnik" on the outskirts of St. Ordzhonikidzevskaya.

The prosecutor's office of the Grozny district opened criminal case No. 19080 on the fact of the illegal detention of A. Elmurzaev. According to eyewitnesses, on the afternoon of December 4, 2000, two helicopters landed on the territory of the village of Alkhan-Kala. The Russian soldiers who got out of them stopped the GAZ3110 car driving along the road. Using force, they pulled out the driver, A. Elmurzaev, from the passenger compartment, and together with him flew away in the direction of Khankala.
August 10 according to Art. 195, paragraph 3 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the RSFSR ("in connection with the non-establishment of a person subject to prosecution as an accused"), the criminal case was suspended.

From the Chechen refugee camp in St. Raisa Abdurakhmanova (Umarova) came from Ordzhonikidzevskaya (Republic of Ingushetia) to Grozny, intending to check her house in the village of Voikova in Zavodsky district. She took her children with her - a 10-year-old daughter, two nine-year-old sons, and a six-year-old nephew, whose parents (the mother was 20-21, and the father was 25) in January 2000 when they tried to leave for Ingushetia on the route Rostov- Russian soldiers killed Baku at a checkpoint.

At night, when the woman and children were sleeping, soldiers broke into their house and demanded money and gold. They did not pay attention to Raisa Abdurakhmanova's assurances that she had none of this, and moreover, they began to act violently. After beating one child, the military said they would take him with them. Realizing that she would not be able to protect her son alone, the woman began to call her neighbors, who, hearing her screams, managed to call one of the employees

But on the way, they kidnapped Shamsuddin Mahashev, the guard of "Vodokanal", in the house next door. His pregnant wife, who, clinging to her husband, tried to fight him off, was hit by the soldiers with the butt of a machine gun. They told her that they would return her husband after the "check".

In the morning, the corpse of Shamsuddin Mahashev with traces of severe mockery and beatings was found in a condensate pit not far from his home. He had broken fingers and toes, a broken bridge of the nose, and his whole body was covered with knife wounds. The military threw the corpse into a pit, apparently expecting that at a great depth (about 15 meters), it would not be found soon. But the corpse caught on the edge and did not fall to the bottom, which is why it was discovered.

On the outskirts of the village of Staraya Sunzha of the Grozny district, the Russian soldiers on duty at the checkpoint detained and took Alaudyn Tashuevich Debirov, born in 1956, to an unknown destination, who was returning from Grozny to his home in St. Petropavlovsk (Czech - village of Churt-tog1y). As of July 2004, his whereabouts have not been established. The law enforcement agencies of the republic did not help the relatives in this either. Thus, at the end of December 2002, a year and a half later, employees of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Grozny district were still collecting material on this crime on the instructions of the prosecutor's office.
