Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — During the filming of singer Ozoda Nursaidova’s music video, model Sabrina Jabburova sustained severe injuries after being struck by a car, which ultimately led to her disability.

Sabrina Jabburova, who was injured while shooting the video for Ozoda Nursaidova’s song Dilbarim, shared on social media how she became disabled following an unsuccessful surgery.

The incident occurred on 7 November 2024. During the filming process, Jabburova was hit by a Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV driven by Sevinch Marufova, an underage actress. Marufova had been brought onto the set by Ahad Kayum, who assured the production team that she could operate the vehicle and take part in the shoot as a driver.

Following the instructions of the cameraman and director, Shuhrat Mavlonov, Marufova pressed the accelerator but lost control of the car. As a result, the SUV struck Sabrina Jabburova, running over her twice—first with the front wheel, and then again as the rear wheel reportedly stopped on her body and spun.

After the accident, Jabburova did not receive timely and adequate medical assistance, leading to a loss of three liters of blood.

Investigation and Support for the Victim

According to Dilmurod Sattorov, an ambulance arrived at the scene, and he personally accompanied the injured model to the hospital. Doctors conducted an examination and performed surgery within three to four hours. On the same day, Tashkent’s Internal Affairs Department (GUVD) initiated a criminal case and launched an investigation.

Ozoda Nursaidova’s manager stated that the singer was deeply shocked by the incident and made efforts to support Jabburova. According to him, the victim was provided with US$500 per month for three months to cover the cost of medication, diapers, and other necessities, as well as rent for her accommodation. Additionally, all the furniture in the rented apartment was completely replaced at Nursaidova’s expense.

Doctors recommended a three-month rehabilitation program, but according to Sattorov, Jabburova participated in another project during this period, where she sustained another injury. Specialists insisted that she undergo surgery abroad—in India or St. Petersburg. Later, Jabburova’s mother sought assistance regarding this matter, but representatives of Nursaidova responded that a final decision would be made after a court ruling, which would determine responsibility for the incident.

Legal Proceedings

On 11 March, Tashkent’s Internal Affairs Department announced that a criminal case had been initiated under Article 266, Part 1 of the Criminal Code (Violation of traffic safety rules or vehicle operation regulations). The investigation has been completed, and the case has been sent to court.

The responsible party faces a potential prison sentence of up to three years.

Sattorov also noted that some media outlets have reported on the situation in a biased manner, not allowing the other side to present its position. He emphasized that financial support was provided to the victim for three months and that the investigation is still ongoing, making accusations against Ozoda Nursaidova unfair.

Additionally, according to Sattorov, there were discussions within Jabburova’s circle about purchasing a new home for her, but Nursaidova’s representatives declined to participate, arguing that the final decision should be left to the court.
