State Duma deputy from Ingushetia Bekkhan Barakhoyev said that he was in no way connected with the preparation of the assassination attempt on the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov.

"Allah Almighty is my witness. I have nothing to do with this and never have," the deputy said.

Earlier, State Duma deputy from Dagestan Rizvan Kurbanov, who is undergoing treatment abroad, recorded a video message in which he also denied his involvement in the preparation of the assassination attempt on Kadyrov.

"I officially declare that I have never participated in the preparation of the assassination attempt on the life of the respected Kadyrov Ramzan Akhmatovich. And the Almighty is my witness. I have always had and continue to have deep respect for the Kadyrov family. Ever since the time when I was very close friends with Akhmat-Khadzhi. I am sure that the time will come and justice will prevail. And those scoundrels who are bringing in these discords today, who are trying to slander today, they will suffer the punishment they deserve,” said Kurbonov.

On October 9, Ramzan Kadyrov accused Senator Suleiman Kerimov, as well as Barakhoev and Kurbonov, of ordering his murder. The Chechen leader declared blood feud against them if they do not prove their innocence.
