Attack and death

On July 9, 2016, Nurbagandov and his relatives were relaxing in the forest near the village of Sergokala. In the morning, five armed men approached their tent and began waking up the campers. After a short verbal skirmish, Nurbagandov's cousin Abdurashid Nurbagandov was shot dead (posthumously awarded the Order of Courage^[2]), after standing up for his young brother Arsen (survived), who was kicked by one of the attackers. Upon learning that Nurbagandov was a policeman, the attackers pushed him and his brother into the trunk of a car, drove away from the recreation area, and shot him.^[3]

The attackers, who called themselves recruits of the "Islamic State," filmed everything that was happening on a mobile phone camera and later uploaded the video to an extremist website.

Subsequently, several militants from this group were killed and two were detained. When examining the bodies of the dead, the mobile phone that the videos were filmed on was found.^[4] It became clear that the extremists published an edited version of the video online, where they had cut out Nurbagandov's last words. Before the murder, Nurbagandov was forced to call on his colleagues to leave work, but he instead said: "Work, brothers!" (Russian: Работайте, братья!).

On September 22, 2016 Nurbagandov was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation for showing courage and heroism in the line of duty.^{[5] [6]} At a meeting with Nurbagandov's parents, President Vladimir Putin called him a "true hero, and a true man, who under the threat of death, remained faithful to his oath, duty and to his people."

On August 16, 2017, the Supreme Court of Dagestan sentenced Aziz Dzhamaludinov to 17 years in a corrective labor colony, a fine of 100,000 rubles as well as two years on probation for the murder of the Nurbagandov brothers.^[7] On October 3, 2017, the North Caucasus District Military Court sentenced Artur Bekbolatov, who videotaped the murder of Nurbagandov, to 24 years in prison in a corrective labor colony, followed by two years on probation. Subsequently the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of Russia changed Bekbolatov's sentence to life imprisonment.^[8] The rest of the participants in the massacre were eliminated during a special operation by the FSB in September 2016.
