In September 2006, Janybek resigned from his senior intelligence after being implicated in planting heroin in the luggage of the main opposition leader, Omurbek Tekebayev, who was later detained in Poland. Saliev was awarded one million soms (approximately United States$35,000) from each in compensation. In May 2010, an audio recording was posted anonymously on YouTube with a caption identifying the voices as those of Janish and Maxim Bakiyev, the former president"s son.
The men were discussing plans to arm groups to spread chaos across the south of Kyrgyzstan, sometime in June.

Janish stated in an interview with the Azeri Press Agency on April 19, 2010, that he will not surrender to the interim government.
