Search for Drowned Man in Ingushetia Enters Ninth Day; Volunteers Needed

The search for Bekkhan Aushev, who went missing on July 21 in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia, is now in its ninth day. Preliminary reports suggest he may have been swept away by the current of the Assa River. However, the number of volunteers participating in the search operation is dwindling day by day.

Aushev’s relatives have reported a shortage of manpower. They note that while many volunteers have returned to their daily routines, the search is ongoing, and assistance remains essential.

The missing man's family is appealing to local residents who are familiar with the river and skilled in water-based operations to come forward. For those unable to join the search in person, they suggest sharing information about Bekkhan Aushev to help attract new volunteers.

"A single repost can sometimes bring in the very person whose help is so sorely needed in the search," the family’s appeal states.

Bekkhan Aushev went missing on the afternoon of July 21 near Oalkam, in the "Sunny Valley" area of ​​Ingushetia's Dzheyrakhsky District. Preliminary information indicates he may have drowned in the Assa River.

On the same day, the body of a 68-year-old man was discovered in the Assa River near the village of Nesterovskoye. There has been no official statement linking this discovery to the disappearance of Bekkhan Aushev.
