Chronology of Detention at the Korday Checkpoint
The events unfolded in the evening at the Korday checkpoint, located on the Kazakh-Kyrgyz border. According to preliminary data from investigative and operational sources, the vehicle carrying Navai Bakirov was stopped for a standard check by border guards and customs officers. During a search of the vehicle involving service dogs, suspicious packages were discovered.

Despite widespread resonance in the press and Telegram channels, the situation surrounding the detention remains surrounded by numerous questions and conflicting versions. Some sources claim that the rapper was personally driving the vehicle and carrying illegal substances for personal use, while other insiders insist that the musician was sitting in the passenger seat of a rented or accompanying car, and the discovered substances could have belonged to a member of his concert team. Official agencies of Kazakhstan currently refrain from detailed comments, citing the secrecy of the investigation and the need for a series of chemical and fingerprint examinations.
