[KavkazUzel] Malgobek resident Amir Bokov, suspected of attacking law enforcement officers, was detained, the press service of the FSB department for Ingushetia reported. Bokov came to the police station with his uncle, the security forces informed. The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the police of Ingushetia promised three million rubles for assistance in the search for Mikail Moshkhoev, Amir Bokov, Amirkhan Gurazhev and Adam Ozdoev. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are involved in both the attack on a traffic police post on the border with North Ossetia on March 27, the shelling of security forces in Malgobek on April 3, and the attempt on security officials in Zyazikov-Yurt on April 5. Today, sources reported that Amir Bokov surrendered to the security forces . On the evening of April 5, during a counter-terrorist operation, security forces discovered a group of alleged militants in the village of Zyazikov-Yurt. During the shootout, three police officers were killed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic reported. According to sources, eight more security officials were injured. The alleged militants managed to escape. Amir Bokov, one of the wanted residents of Ingushetia, was detained, the press service of the FSB of Ingushetia confirmed. "The operational headquarters in the Republic of Ingushetia, in the course of carrying out operational-search activities as part of a counter-terrorist operation, detained a resident of Malgobek Bokov A.B." He noted that "according to preliminary data, the detainee is a member of a bandit group involved in the attack on law enforcement officers," the report says. Bokov came to the police station with his uncle and confessed, the Telegram channel of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee for the Stavropol Territory reported today. The rest of the suspects may be hiding in the forest on the outskirts of the Malgobek district, the report says. Recall that the security forces put Moshkhoev, Bokov, Gurazhev and Ozdoev on the wanted list after the attack on the traffic police post, along with two other young people, Ramazan Eldiev and Movsar Kottoev. Eldiev was found dead on the morning of March 29, and on April 5, information appeared that  another member of the group, presumably Kottoev, had been found dead. The losses of security officials during the battle in Zyazikov-Yurt, including three killed and eight wounded, became the largest  number of casualties in a day among security officials in Ingushetia after August 2012, follows from the chronicle  of armed incidents in Ingushetia, which has been kept by the "Caucasian Knot" since 2006. On April 1, teip Bokovykh turned to other Ingush teips and said that he was cooperating with law enforcement agencies in the search for his relative. Before that, the Bokovs used the Internet to call on Amir to return home and searched for him in the forests. Teip Ozdoev appealed to Adam Ozdoev with a call to return home. In turn, Moshkhoev's relatives expelled him from their teip, and Gurazhev's relatives stated that they were not involved in his actions. On April 4, Movsar Kottoev 's father disowned him. The decision whether to exclude a guilty family member from a teip or limit oneself to censure depends on many factors, including the opinion of the elders, Caucasian scholars interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" noted, commenting on the reaction of the teips to the search for those suspected of attacking a traffic police post. The position of the teip can greatly affect the life of an outcast, they noted. Exclusion from the teip cannot be called a formality if a person is a part of the Ingush society, emphasized, in particular, the Ingush human rights activist Magomed Mutsolgov. "This is not an appearance. This is a serious social phenomenon. The Ingush have such a tradition. We live in families, clans. For someone who has refused the teip, this means that he has lost his support. The teip said that we will not maintain any relations with him "Neither kind nor hostile. We will neither rejoice nor grieve for him. This is one of the ways of public influence," Mutsolgov explained.
