The head of the RF IC Alexander Bastrykin demanded from the leadership of the regional UK to open a criminal case on the incident.

According to investigators, on August 24, 2024, at the entrance of the house on Davydov Street, a local resident made a remark to two foreigners who were in a drunken state violating public order. In response, one of the foreigners used physical force against the man.

"The next day, on August 25, 2024, residents of the house reported what had happened on social media, after which a group of people — members of a public organization arrived at the house on Davydov Street to clarify the circumstances of what had happened.
