Two Dagestani residents were arrested after a drunken brawl in a store.

The Kumtorkalinsky District Court of Dagestan has ordered pretrial detention for two residents of the republic suspected of grossly disturbing public order by resisting police officers.

As reported by Kavkazsky Knot, after harsh criticism from the head of Dagestan, Deputy Bammat Absalamov publicly apologized for the disturbance involving his son and promised compensation. Telegram users considered the deputy's actions worthy of respect and suggested he remain in office.

According to case materials, on the evening of December 26, near the railway crossing of the Kavkaz federal highway near the village of Korkmaskala in the Kumtorkalinsky District of Dagestan, two drunken men smashed beverage bottles, knocked over retail equipment, and kicked refrigerators and display cases. During the brawl, they also used obscene language and made threats against the vendors, Interfax reported today.

They subsequently resisted police officers arriving at the scene.

"The court, after reviewing the materials, ordered both suspects to be remanded in custody for two months, until February 29, 2026, inclusive. The rulings have not yet entered into legal force and can be appealed to a higher court," the Dagestan court press service said in a statement.

The case is being investigated under Part 2 of Article 213 of the Russian Criminal Code (hooliganism committed with resistance to a government official charged with maintaining public order or preventing a violation of public order). 1 .
