Ingushetia man detained over alleged confinement of wife and shots towards police

A man was detained in Ekazhevo after allegedly confining his wife under threat of a shotgun and firing towards a police officer. Russia's Investigative Committee opened a criminal case.

The incident occurred on October 13 in Ingushetia's Nazran district. Investigators allege that the man was intoxicated and unlawfully prevented his wife from leaving their home. Three minor children were also on the property.

According to investigators, the suspect fired several shots towards an arriving police officer. Interior Ministry personnel detained him with support from the National Guard's special rapid response unit.

The National Guard separately confirmed its unit's involvement in the operation. The case concerns unlawful deprivation of liberty and violence against a state representative. The account remains investigators' preliminary version, and the reports state no court finding of guilt.
