Alkhanov, however, did not give the names or the number of those detained, only saying, "one of them is a local police officer."
The president said he had no information about the eleven people who were driven away after the passport checking operation in the village on June 4. The operation also left four houses destroyed.
"Unfortunately, I have no information about their whereabouts and whether they are alive," said Alkhanov.
In a sign of protest, village residents set up a tent camp in Daghestan and refused to return home. Chechen authorities and federal officials went to the site to resolve the situation.
Authorities have long denied the death of peaceful civilians in the village. However, Dmitry Kozak, the Russian presidential envoy to the Southern Federal District, said on June 22 that the "mopping up" operation in Borozdinovskaya had violated the law. The government paid compensations to the families that "suffered moral and material damage," said a Chechen representative in the Kremlin.
The daily newspaper Kommersant reported that the operation came after the father of a local Chechen serviceman was killed.
Borozdinovskaya residents agreed to return home in late June.
