On January 26, it came to light that Davletkildin was brought to a hospital after the beating. He was diagnosed with a transverse process fracture of the spine, as well as anaemia. On February 7, it was reported that Garifulla Yaparov, the lawyer who represented Davletkildin's interests, received a ruling on his disqualification despite the fact that, according to him, he had concluded an agreement with Davletkildin's relatives and the client was satisfied with his work. Davletkildin was also accused of using violence against the authorities. On May 5, 2025, he was sentenced to five and a half years in a general-regime penal colony.
