In May 2016, a law enforcement source said that unknown people had blown up Ibragim's car in Nazran near Belkharoev's house. Later, the spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) clarified that the car was burned down – there was no explosion. On October 23, 2017, a court found a resident of Ingushetia guilty of blowing up Belkharoev's car and sentenced him to 3.5 years in prison.
