The defendants in the Dalgatov case refused the online broadcast of the hearings.

The court in Makhachkala has started to reconsider the case of the death of Kurban Dalgatov in the police department from scratch for the second time. One of the defendants suggested conducting an online broadcast of the hearings, but most of his former colleagues refused. If they do not admit guilt and are ready to prove their innocence regarding Dalgatov's death, why are they protesting against the broadcasts, wondered the head of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", three years after the death of Kurban Dalgatov, most of the accused have not yet been sentenced, while five of them went to the special military operation. Dalgatov's relatives were outraged by the lengthy consideration of the case, despite officials' statements that those responsible would be punished. On April 10, the qualification board of judges of Dagestan approved the resignation of judge Patimat Makhatilova, who legalized the unauthorized extension of a building that collapsed during a flood. Makhatilova was handling the case of Dalgatov's death. Due to the termination of her powers, the case will start anew. The relatives reported delays in the consideration of the case.

The first hearing in the criminal case regarding the death of Kurban Dalgatov took place in the Soviet District Court of Makhachkala, as the case was started anew after judge Makhatilova's resignation, reported the head of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan, Shamil Khadulaev.

"The lawyer of one of the operatives — Malikov Magomed — filed a motion for a video broadcast of the trial. Malikov Magomed insisted on an open, transparent, and objective hearing so that anyone interested could follow the proceedings online. The motion was also supported by the victims' side," Khadulaev wrote on his Telegram channel.

However, objections followed from all the defendants, except for one, he noted. "The question arises, if they do not admit guilt and are ready to prove their innocence at the hearings, then why obstruct the online broadcast?" the head of the Public Monitoring Commission asked.

In July 2024, the investigation into the case of 11 employees of the Soviet District Police Department of Makhachkala, accused in the case of Dalgatov's death, was completed. The criminal cases of two other police officers, Islam Atavov and Marat Babaev, who entered into pre-trial agreements with the investigation, were separated into a separate proceeding. None of the defendants admitted guilt. In November 2024, the court granted the request to release Marat Babaev to the military operation zone in Ukraine. Similar requests were voiced by Imran Rustamov and Adis Isakov. The Supreme Court of Dagestan in March did not satisfy the complaint regarding sending Imran Rustamov to the special military operation zone.
