As reported by the RIA "Dagestan" with reference to the press service of the above District Court of Makhachkala, according to investigators, Abdulkadirov, "by contributing to the concealment of the crime after the victim's death, having been called to the place where the incident had occurred, took part in delivering Dalgatov's body to the hospital with the aim of allegedly providing medical assistance."
